Users can't set them, so qdev_device_help() shouldn't list them. Fix that. Also make qdev_prop_parse() hide them instead of printing a meaningless "has no parser" error message.
Their value means nothing to users, so qdev_print_props() shouldn't print it. Fix by removing their print method. Their only use is dirty hacks. Document that.
