Commit 6d4cd40 fixed qemu_opts_set_defaults() for an existing corner
case, but broke it for another one that can't be reached in current
code.
Quote from its commit message:
I believe [opts_parse()] attempts to do the following:
If options don't yet exist, create new options
Else, if defaults, modify the existing options
Else, if list->merge_lists, modify the existing options
Else, fail
The only caller that passes true for defaults is
qemu_opts_set_defaults().
The commit message then claims:
A straightforward call of qemu_opts_create() does exactly that.
Wrong. When !list->merge_lists, and the option string doesn't contain
id=, and options without ID exist, then we don't actually modify the
existing options, we create new ones.
Not reachable, because we never pass lists with !list->merge_lists to
qemu_opts_set_defaults().
Guard against possible (if unlikely) future misuse with assert().
