We cannot make changes to qemu-dm that are not backwards compatible with
saved guests. Not only does this affect qemu in this case, but the register
blocks you move around also affect Xen's emulation of ACPI pmtimer. Both
will/would need to be configurable based on whether this is an old or new
guest.

Hence this has to be strongly NACKed in its current form.
