We don't really have a 'base' template for QEMU - we only specify the args
that are explicitly required based on the user's libvirt XML config. Plus
couple of extra ones to turn off default settings (eg -serial none) if the
user didn't ask for a serial device. So I'd probably not need includes
for the QEMU config. Definitely useful for people not using libvirt though
