Didn't follow this issue too closely, but what about restoring a
pre-QEMU-ACPI-patch Windows VM backup in a post-QEMU-ACPI-patch world?
Those would need to get pinned as well, right? Doing the pinning itself
on restore shouldn't be difficult, but a good way to detect when it's
needed is needed.

the default behaviour of always using the latest one.
The workaround is based on a postinst script running when upgrading the
qemu-server package, which sets the machine version of all effected Windows VMs
to pc-(i440fx|q35)-5.1 to pin them to the last version still using the old ACPI
table layout.
Note: the postinst patch requires Fabian's #3301 series:
