I agree that in-kernel chips should be default if possible, but I would
keep the possibility to disable them like in qemu-kvm. This helps
specifically to track down issues in their implementations or their
potential side effects.

I have no good suggestion yet how the user interface should look like
(likely not as in qemu-kvm). Maybe some qdev property of the related
devices? But it seems like those are not yet user visible nor configurable.
