That was already a bug. :(  It should have been registered as 
"HostMemPolicy".  See for example:

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -device ide-hd,help
ide-hd.bootindex=int32
ide-hd.unit=uint32
ide-hd.bios-chs-trans=BiosAtaTranslation (Logical CHS translation algorithm, 
auto/none/lba/large/rechs)
...

The qom-list command returns a list of property names and types.
