Reopen this bug , I still think we need use -M rhel5.6.0 as default on rhel5.6.0+ hosts.

Reopen this bug .based on following reasons 1.We hit lots of timer device issues if we forgot to add -M rhel5.6.0 2.qemu-kvm in RHEL6.x always change the default machine type to the newest one

Now is too late to fix
