Since migration test case requires compat machine type support,
compat machine is added for qemu 9.1 here.

This is not a good justification for adding versioned machine types.
Adding versioned machine types is putting a massive maintenance
burden on yourself from now onward:
 * every release needs a new machine type adding
 * every change to the board model or to any devices it uses needs
   to be assessed for cross-version compatibility issues, and
   if necessary extra properties must be added so old versions
   of the board model keep the legacy backwards-compatible behaviour
 * migration compatibility must be maintained

You really do not want to do this until you decide that your
architecture and machine type are at a level where this is a
support guarantee you want to provide to users. "It lets us
run a test case" is not a good reason to do it, and I strongly
recommend you do not add versioned machine types just for that.

thanks
