I think I made a small mistake here in my earlier suggestion; I think I
should have restricted qxl to x86 only, something like:
... should adhere to "-g" however, for virtio (x86, ARM) and qxl
(x86 only) adapters
Lest we appear to suggest that QXL will ever be available in aarch64
guests :)

Furthermore, once patch #9 becomes a real patch, this documentation
should be updated again, adding "VGA (x86 only)" as well.
Thanks!
