Sounds plausible. Anything using -nodefaults has to have
knowledge of every QEMU machine type it wants to use
so it can know which devices need adding in ordar to get
various functionality. ('-device VGA' doesn't work at all on
some, for instance). If you ask for full manual control, you
get full manual control :-)
