even before I start investigating the "OVF video device" topic. I expect
the latter to turn into an infinite mess, so if I can (or should) tack
the cirrus cleanup patches to the end of my series, I figure I'd like to
do that first.
On the QEMU side, assuming you don't care about guest OS dating back
from 1995, Cirrus should never be used under any circumstance [1].
Anywhere that might have used Cirrus should be switched to use VGA. So
if v2v does have any Cirrus related usage, I'd recommend to swap that
out as a priority.
