You can use QEMU's "machine types" concept to support different hardware
configurations.  For the time being, htif could be the default.  In the
future maybe another variant will take over that provides the default
hardware and firmware environment for production RISC-V machines.

If you look at QEMU ARM there are several different machine types for
various ARM boards.
