Not really true.

qemu 1.0 didn't have neither channels[0].irq_disabled nor flags and is
version 2.

qemu-2.1 has channels[0].irq_disabled and is version 3.

qemu-kvm-1.0 had flags, which is now called channels[0].irq_disabled,
and is version 2.

qemu-2.1 loads version 2 as something that doesn't have
channels[0].irq_disabled.  So it breaks if you feed it with qemu-kvm-1.0
data.

There's something similar going on with PIIX4_PM but I don't remember
the details.
