The criterial here is to remove the devices that have poor performance.
You can think legacy devices here as ISA devices. Most of them are
emulated with slow port IO and slow line-based IRQ handling.

You can have a look at Clear containers
(https://clearlinux.org/features/clear-containers) or other similar
technologies. Basically they try to provide container-like service with
VT to improve security. Clear containers employ kvm-tool to gain 'lite'
benefit. This patch however try to achive the same with QEMU.

Kernel .config is already listed in the repo I listed below. For
guest kernel and BIOS performance data please see another reply to mst.
QEMU bootup time itself however is mainly not improved with this
patchset, but the optmized QEMU normally we see takes ~45ms.
