Once upon a time, the error message was:
qemu: -device nonexistant: Device "nonexistant" not found. Try -device '?' for a list.
But progress marches on, and conversion to QError (commit 0204276)
changed it into:
Invalid parameter 'driver'
Try with argument '?' for a list.
Progress didn't stop there, of course. After a couple of iterations,
we arrived at the current message (commit 6acbe4c):
qemu: -device nonexistant: Parameter 'driver' expects device type
Mission accomplished: this is complete mush.
We've since abandoned our quest for "rich" error objects, fortunately
before it turned all error messages into mush. Time to undo the
damage to this one. Make it:
qemu: -device nonexistant: nonexistant is not a valid device model name

Such devices have always been unavailable and omitted from the list of
available devices shown by device_add help. Until commit 18b6dad
silently broke the former, setting up nasty traps for unwary users,
like this one:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -monitor stdio -display none
QEMU 1.6.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) device_add apic
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I call that a regression. Fix it.

In an ideal world, machines can be built by wiring devices together
with configuration, not code. Unfortunately, that's not the world we
live in right now. We still have quite a few devices that need to be
wired up by code. If you try to device_add such a device, it'll fail
in sometimes mysterious ways. If you're lucky, you get an
unmysterious immediate crash.
To protect users from such badness, DeviceClass member no_user used to
make device models unavailable with -device / device_add, but that
regressed in commit 18b6dad. The device model is still omitted from
help, but is available anyway.
Attempts to fix the regression have been rejected with the argument
that the purpose of no_user isn't clear, and it's prone to misuse.
This commit clarifies no_user's purpose. Anthony suggested to rename
it cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet_due_to_internal_bugs, which
I shorten somewhat to keep checkpatch happy. While there, make it
bool.
Every use of cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet gets a FIXME
comment asking for rationale. The next few commits will clean them
all up, either by providing a rationale, or by getting rid of the use.
With that done, the regression fix is hopefully acceptable.

The qdev_free() function name is misleading since all the function does
is unlink the device from its parent. The device is not necessarily
freed.
The device will be freed when its QObject refcount reaches zero. It is
usual for the parent (bus) to hold the final reference but there are
cases where something else holds a reference so "free" is a misleading
name.
Call object_unparent(obj) directly instead of having a qdev wrapper
function.

qdev_device_add() leaks the created device upon failure. I suspect this
problem crept in because qdev_free() unparents the device but does not
drop a reference - confusing name.

User is able to crash running QEMU when following monitor
command is called:
device_add intel-hda-generic
Crash is caused by assertion in object_initialize_with_type()
when type is abstract.
Checking if type is abstract before instance is created in
qdev_device_add() allows to prevent crash on incorrect user input.

per device category instead, with a header line identifying the
category, plus a list of uncategorized devices. Print each list in

This reverts most of commit 3d1237fb2a.
The commit claims to sort the output of "-device help" "by
functionality rather than alphabetical". Issues:
* The output was unsorted before, not alphabetically sorted.
Misleading, but harmless enough.
* The commit doesn't just sort the output of "-device help" as it
claims, it adds categories to each line of "-device help", and it
prints devices once per category. In particular, devices without a
category aren't shown anymore. Maybe such devices should not exist,
but they do. Regression.
* Categories are also added to the output of "info qdm". Silent
change, not nice. Output remains unsorted, unlike "-device help".
I'm going to reimplement the feature we actually want, without the
warts. Reverting the flawed commit first should make it easier to
review. However, I can't revert it completely, since DeviceClass
member categories has been put to use. So leave that part in.
