I don't think it was overridden.

In fact you NACKed an explicit -device pvpanic.  You suggested disabling
in 1.6 but keeping it a builtin, but this was never implemented,
afterwards issues with Linux guests surfaced, we discussed this
again on the KVM call, and there seemed to be a
concensus that it's an OK patch, with some issues. A week later Marcel
sent v2, it worked and looked like the least problematic path to take.
