To be honest I've never found -exec logging that useful for system
emulation (beyond check-tcg tests) because it just generates so much
data.

Yes we should extend the logging to say phys-pc or virt-pc

I have a feeling for system emulation phys-pc is the most natural but we
could extend the filter spec to be explicit.
