We currently use -machine accel=XXX which is just a syntax sugar
for -accel XXX. The former doesn't allow specifying arguments for
accelerator, because all arguments passed to -machine are
treated as arguments of machine itself.
The -accel argument was introduced in QEMU commit
v2.9.0-rc0~70^2~19 and since our minimum required version is
newer (2.11.0) we can safely assume its existence and use it
without any capability.

When guest has NUMA nodes and QEMU is new enough to report
default RAM ID then ideally we would use -numa memdev= combined
with memory-backend-* combo becasue -mem-path/-mem-prealloc/-numa
mem are deprecated. Well, there is one problem - the .memdev=
attribute is machine type dependent (just look at arguments of
virQEMUCapsGetMachineNumaMemSupported()) and to ensure backwards
compatibility we prefer -numa mem= over -numa memdev=.
But there was one corner case when -mem-prealloc was requested
but not generated on the cmd line. It all starts with
qemuBuildMemCommandLine() which generates just '-m XXX' and
because it sees defaultRAMid and guest NUMA nodes greater than
zero it does nothing more.
Then, qemuBuildNumaCommandLine() sees that -numa mem= is still
supported for given machine type and nothing else set
@needBackend thus qemuBuildMemPathStr() is called which output
-mem-prealloc only in a few cases assuming it was outputted
earlier.

This test shows a bug we have: even though the XML says:
<allocation mode='immediate'/>
there is no -mem-prealloc nor .prealloc=yes anywhere on the cmd
line. This will be fixed in the next commit.
