That would be a weird choice, because it's not actually the default! The obvious analogy here is with -cpu best, -machine gic-version=3Dbest, etc -- use "best". You can argue that it's maybe not got the ideal set of connotations, but I think that trying to be consistent about the name we use for "do the thing that seems to be the most sensible for the host/etc that we've got" is worthwhile. thanks -- PMM
