I see. Are there plans for that to change? Will we eventually need
something like Arm's 'gic-version' machine option to pick a more
featureful interrupt controller?

Either way, as it is we certainly can't flip the default to
virtio-pci at the libvirt level quite yet, so we'll have to stick
with virtio-mmio for a while longer... Not exactly the outcome I
was hoping for :(

Sorry, not really my area of expertise O:-)
