Strictly speaking, we cannot run it. While it works most of the time,
there are still references to machines and cpus that are TCG-only. Try
running -machine ? or -cpu ? for instance. If a user tries to pass one
of those, there might be breakages like the ones you saw.

The other series (I just sent a v4) removes everything that depends on
TCG. Then it will be 100% safe to use --disable-tcg and consume the
result.
