I kind of agree, but isn't this kind of mixing two things?

(1) Both these machines require a GICv3 and a GICv2 won't do,
so they should do something that says "if you want this
machine type, you need a GICv3 device"

(2) Both these machines don't work with KVM or hvf, so if we're
not building TCG then there's no point configuring in these
machine models (a property they share with every other arm
machine type except "virt", currently)
