[Qemu-devel] [PULL 0/5] hw: Contain drive, serial, parallel, net misuse

[Markus Armbruster]

Drives defined with if!=none, character devices defined with -serial
and -parallel, network devices defined with -net nic are all for board
initialization to wire up.  Board code calls drive_get() or similar to
find them, and creates devices with their qdev properties set
accordingly.

Except a few devices go on fishing expeditions on their own instead of
exposing a drive property for board code to set.

We can't fix this in time for the release, so do the next best thing:
contain the mistakes as far as possible so they don't become ABI:

* Mark them all with suitable FIXME comments [PATCH 1-3].

* sdhci-pci is new, set cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet to make
  it unavailable with -device [PATCH 4].

* A few more aren't currently available with -device, set
  cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet to ensure they stay
  unavailable [PATCH 5].

* Left alone: m25p80-generic and its derivatives[*], ssi-sd, pc87312.
  I suspect these can't be used sanely with -device / device_add, and
  cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet for them would be just fine,
  but I feel we're too close to the release to argue this now.
