Public bug reported:

Opening a bug in reference to the discussion at
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2016-October/007420.html

We should consider
- adding more documentation to 
https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/libvirt.html#libvirt-management
  - what are machine types TL;DR
  - how to handle updates (why manually, best practise, ...)
  - what to do when old type is no more around
- on qemu/libvirt upgrade scan for old-now-unsupported types and in case prompt 
the user to follow the documentation to consider updating as suitable for him
  - that scanning might be hard and error prone so be careful
  - we have a fallback by making the libvirt error more readable and by that it 
should show up whenever anything is started via libvirt (maybe even point to 
the doc)
