I think we can zap this, was in use for a while one year ago, but in the 
end it turned out we can keep qxl compatible to older versions and we've 
ended up just bumping the pci revision (which needs to stay configurable 
because there are picky guest drivers in the wild which refuse to work 
if they find the revision being 2 instead of 1).

cheers,
