Thanks for the review.
Jason, do you want me to propose a fix on top of this series or simply drop
this for now because this patch is an independent bug fix and won't affect the
other filter patch series.

I don't get it. Currently, only objects created at the beginning through
QEMU command line will be stored in the QemuOpts, objects that created
with object_add won't stored in QemuOpts. Do you mean for DeviceState,
DriveInfo they store there QemuOpts explicity so that they can delete it?
Why don't we just delete it from objects directly instead?
