Running "qemu-system-ppc64 -machine prep -device i82374" creates an ISA bus with two i82374 DMA controllers - one is implicit from ppc_prep_init(), the other one is from "-device i82374". QEMU asserts but it is not immediately clear why.
This adds an error message to explain the failure. Signed-off-by: Alexey Kardashevskiy <a...@ozlabs.ru> --- Better phase suggestions are welcome.
