qdev: Do not let the user try to device_add when it cannot work
Such devices have always been unavailable and omitted from the list of available devices shown by device_add help. Until commit 18b6dad silently broke the former, setting up nasty traps for unwary users, like this one: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -monitor stdio -display none QEMU 1.6.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) device_add apic Segmentation fault (core dumped) I call that a regression. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Marcel Apfelbaum <marcel.a@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andreas Färber <afaerber@suse.de>
