The vast majority of my conversions are utterly trivial [PATCH 03]:
change return type to void, rename, put into ->realize instead of
->init.  I could enumerate the devices so changed and look for qtests,
but I feel it's rather pointless busywork.  But if you should insist...

The remaining conversions are all very, very simple:

* PATCH 05: "pcnet"

  Utterly trivial after trivial PATCH 04 changed a helper's return type
  to void.

  There's pcnet-test.c, which basically tests "-device pcnet doesn't
  explode right away".

* PATCH 06: "pci-serial", "pci-serial-2x", "pci-serial-4x"

  Two error paths trivially converted from qerror_report_err() to
  error_propagate().

  Not covered in qtest as far as I can tell.

* PATCH 07: "ich9-ahci"

  One pci_add_capability() replaced by pci_add_capability2().  The
  former is a wrapper around the latter which additionally passes any
  error to error_report(), then frees it.  Straightforward conversion of
  the error path to error_setg().

  Not covered in qtest as far as I can tell.

* PATCH 08: "cirrus-vga"

  One error path trivially converted from error_report() to
  error_setg().

  There's display-vga-test.c, which tests "-device cirrus-vga doesn't
  explode right away".

* PATCH 09: "qxl-vga", "qxl"

  Two error paths trivially converted from error_report() to
  error_setg().

  Not covered in qtest as far as I can tell.

* PATCH 10: "kvm-pci-assign"

  Two error paths trivially converted from qerror_report_err() to
  error_propagate().

  Not covered in qtest as far as I can tell.

I'm prepared to drop conversions you consider risky without test
coverage (although I have a hard time seeing risks, considering how
silly-simple my conversions are).  But I'd really like to get the core
changes plus some examples in.
