They used to be covered by hw/core/sysbus.c setting
it for them. In commit 33cd52b5d7b9adf that was removed,
because under certain specialized circumstances it
is now possible to dynamically add a sysbus device.
If the machine model doesn't set mc->has_dynamic_sysbus
they'll error out via a different route. If the machine
model does set that option then it'll probably just do
something unhelpful unless the user knew what they were
doing.
