PIIX is the southbridge. A more appropriate (and google-able) name
would be i440fx-1.4.

I can't help but bikeshed a little here. I dislike that we are going
from something that's reasonable understandable (pc) to something
completely obscure (piix and q35).
I would be in favor of the i440fx machine being called "legacy-pc" and
q35 gaining the title of "pc".
