currently it's before, see vl.c
qdev_machine_creation_done();
qemu_register_reset(qbus_reset_all_fn, sysbus_get_default());
qemu_run_machine_init_done_notifiers();
...
qemu_system_reset(SHUTDOWN_CAUSE_NONE);
register_global_state();
if (replay_mode != REPLAY_MODE_NONE) {
replay_vmstate_init();
} else if (loadvm) {
Error *local_err = NULL;
if (load_snapshot(loadvm, &local_err) < 0) {
error_report_err(local_err);
autostart = 0;
}
}
...
} else if (autostart) {
vm_start();
}
...
main_loop(); <-- currently device_add works here
simplified version:
without migration and with -S option 'autostart = 0'
so we get monitor/qmp prompt with RUN_STATE_PRELAUNCH
and when command 'cont' is issued,
RUN_STATE_PRELAUNCH -> RUN_STATE_RUNNING
