[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Fix legacy device aliases for s390

[Christian Borntraeger]

When qemu is called with -device virtio-serial/blk/net on s390, this alias
is translated to virtio-serial/blk/net-pci instead of s390, since these
drivers are first in the alias table.
Let the core code check if the driver exist, if not lets search further.
This fixes errors like:

qemu-kvm: -device virtio-serial,id=virtio-serial0: Parameter 'driver'
expects device type
