The change that was accepted by QEMU upstream depends on a big batch
of other changes (commit c4f5cdc53f181f6fe84a0f1bf99914598934a8a6)
So the backport to QEMU 2.0.x is not simple.

I can provide a QEMU 2.0.x patch that is based on the accepted name and
way it is used, but uses a global variable instead of a property on the
machine object.  I.E. a simple patch.

Let me know if you want this.
