The  Xen N+1 must know that the source is running Xen N, and use a machine
type corresponding to the QEMU version that was shipped with Xen N. For new
virtual machines Xen must also use pc-i440fx-M.N and not just PC.

This is not new, versioned machine types were introduced in QEMU 0.10 or
something like that for exactly this purpose.
