2015-04-02	sysbus: Make devices picking up backends unavailable with -device	Markus Armbruster
	Device models aren't supposed to go on fishing expeditions for backends. They should expose suitable properties for the user to set. For onboard devices, board code sets them. A number of sysbus devices pick up block backends in their init() / instance_init() methods with drive_get_next() instead: sl-nand, milkymist-memcard, pl181, generic-sdhci. Likewise, a number of sysbus devices pick up character backends in their init() / realize() methods with qemu_char_get_next_serial(): cadence_uart, digic-uart, etraxfs,serial, lm32-juart, lm32-uart, milkymist-uart, pl011, stm32f2xx-usart, xlnx.xps-uartlite. All these mistakes are already marked FIXME. See the commit that added these FIXMEs for a more detailed explanation of what's wrong. Fortunately, only machines ppce500 and pseries-* support -device with sysbus devices, and none of the devices above is supported with these machines. Set cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet to preserve our luck.

2015-04-02	hw: Mark devices picking up char backends actively FIXME	Markus Armbruster
	Character devices defined with -serial and -parallel are for board initialization to wire up. Board code examines serial_hds[] and parallel_hds[] to find them, and creates devices with their qdev chardev properties set accordingly. Except a few devices go on a fishing expedition for a suitable backend instead of exposing a chardev property for board code to set: they use serial_hds[] (often via qemu_char_get_next_serial()) or parallel_hds[] in their realize() or init() method to connect to a backend. Picking up backends that way works when the devices are created by board code. But it's inappropriate for -device or device_add. Not only is it inconsistent with how the other characrer device models work (they connect to a backend explicitly identified by a "chardev" property), it breaks when the backend has been picked up by the board or a previous -device / device_add already. Example: $ qemu-system-ppc64 -M bamboo -S -device i82378 -device pc87312 -device pc87312 qemu-system-ppc64: -device pc87312: Property 'isa-parallel.chardev' can't take value 'parallel0', it's in use Mark them with suitable FIXME comments.
