I appreciate your corrections, but please don't read too much into the word "minimal". I just quickly pasted it from one of the "subjective scripts" named `min-qemu.sh` lying around on my file system. By the time I realized, it was too late to adjust it.

Not quite; I just double-checked with an upstream libvirt dev: when you remove `-nodefaults`, some of the built-in devices get removed, whether those equate to "most" or not depends how many devices you've asked for.

Yeah, realized too late that there was a typo :-(
