From: Greg Kurz <gr...@kaod.org> When passing '-global driver=host-powerpc64-cpu,property=compat,value=foo' on the command line, without this patch, we get the following warning per device (which means many lines if the guests has many cpus):
qemu-system-ppc64: Warning: can't apply global host-powerpc64-cpu.compat=foo: Invalid compatibility mode "foo" ... and QEMU continues execution, ignoring the property. With this patch, we get a single line: qemu-system-ppc64: can't apply global host-powerpc64-cpu.compat=foo: Invalid compatibility mode "foo" ... and QEMU exits. The previous behavior is kept for hotplugged devices since we don't want QEMU to exit when doing device_add.
