What exactly does "no legacy hardware" mean?  Does that include lpc

What will seabios use as time source with -M virt?
Seems there is no pmtimer ...

Doing that makes sense anyway, I'd say these three patches can be
merged.  The other two should wait until the qemu patches are merged,
to be sure the pci ids are the final ones.
