As of April 23 2022, Ubuntu 20.04 will be out for two years, which means
we no longer have to support Ubuntu 18.04 along with qemu-2.11 shipped
with it.
This then brings the minimum qemu version we have to support to
qemu-3.1:
Debian 10/Stable: 3.1
OpenSUSE Leap 15.3: 5.2
Ubuntu 20.04: 4.2
RHEL/Centos 8.4: 4.2
Next event in this space will be 2023/07/06 when Debian 11 will be out
for two years.

QEMU's '-set' parameter, which doesn't work when we use JSON to
instantiate devices.

upstream support in case something breaks.
