We cannot add -machine suboptions for everything we add to a random
machine type. I think it's better to do one of the following:
1) not add it to the machine by default. Let libvirt add it with -device.
2) add a property to the piix3 ISA bridges (in hw/piix_pci.c) to
enable/disable it. It can be set with -global PIIX3.pv_event=on/off.
In the second case, if you set it to on by default, you will also need
to add the property in hw/pc.h, to disable the device in older machine
types for backwards-compatibility.
