Well, it looks like -no-acpi will come for free after all, thanks to
the code you pasted above, as long as the machine property follows
the convention established by x86, arm and (I just noticed this one)
loongarch.
Not quite, because we also have
$ grep -A1 '"no-acpi"' qemu-options.hx
DEF("no-acpi", 0, QEMU_OPTION_no_acpi,
"-no-acpi disable ACPI\n", QEMU_ARCH_I386 | QEMU_ARCH_ARM)
So that means neither riscv nor loongarch get -no-acpi just by adding
the "acpi" machine property.
If the plan is to deprecate -no-acpi, then riscv can be like loongarch
and only have the "acpi" property from the start.
Makes sense.
For the libvirt integration, do I understand correctly that the
machine property was added by commit

acpi: add acpi=OnOffAuto machine property to x86 and arm virt
Remove the global acpi_enabled bool and replace it with an
acpi OnOffAuto machine property.
qemu throws an error now if you use -no-acpi while the machine
type you are using doesn't support acpi in the first place.

included in QEMU 5.0? libvirt still officially supports QEMU 4.2, so
we'll have to make the use of the machine property conditional.
