Trying to work your proposal into my most recent stab at
this, I ended up with:

  Using -nodefaults is required to have full control over
  the virtual hardware: when it's specified, QEMU will
  populate the board with only the builtin peripherals,
  such as the PL011 UART, plus a small selection of core
  PCI devices and controllers; the user will then have to
  esplicitly add further devices.

  More specifically, the PCI devices that will always be
  present in the guest are:

    00:00.0 Host bridge

  This configuration file adds a number of other...
