Who says this guest will only have virtio devices?

This is true - although what is the point of kvm_guest.config? We
certainly turn on a whole bunch of virt optimised pathways with PARAVIRT
and HYPERVISOR_GUEST along with the rest of VirtIO.

Most of which actually qualifies as bloat itself as far as KVM/arm64
is concerned...
