Yep, just a "warning"!

Thanks, it looks sane enough to me in general, If you have instructions
for installing and testing a machine using this advice I'd like to check
it out later this week and I'll sign off on the re-spin.

(As a side-note; do we offer hardware support lists as part of canonical
QEMU releases? It would be nice to annotate this device as something
that is "experimental" instead of "supported" such that it would reflect
its work-in-progress nature. I keep asking about this every now and
again, but with the recent deprecations and removals from QEMU perhaps
it's time to ask again if we can start codifying things down to the
exact device...)
