 With this in mind, I guess adding "no viogpu*" to MICROVM is the
 clean solution. I just tested this -> works.
 
 According to [1] Qemus machine type microvm doesn't
 provide a graphical console, hence guest support for this adds no
 value. Maybe someone with more in depth know how could this confirm?
 
 Thanks,=20
