Please split linux-header update from functional changes (then the
former should just be the outcome of a update-linux-headers.sh run).

Hmm, I would really prefer to stop adding switches like this. They won't
make it upstream anyway.

Can't this control be attached to legacy qemu machine models, ie. here
anything <= pc-1.0? See how we handle kvmclock.

Please mind the coding style.
