Sort of:

qemu-system-x86_64 -M ? | grep default
pc-i440fx-2.1        Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) (default)

Libvirt will parse that default bit, and ensure it is the first entry in the
machine list in capabilities output, which becomes the default machine type.

arm doesn't explicitly tag any default machine type, so libvirt seems to just
default to the last machine type shown in the equivalent of '-M ?'

Agreed
