Description

Most currently are <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-1.1'>hvm</type>, some simply because we created them a while ago, some because our virt-install command line has not been updated for ages. On my current sid (== almost Stretch these days), virt-manager creates pc-i440fx-2.8
machines when instructed to create a Stretch VM. Recent discussions on the libvir-list ML suggest that q35 is the way to go nowadays. Updating this might improve performance.
