[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] virtio: Mark virtio-device as non-user-creatable |

TYPE_VIRTIO_DEVICE devices are already not usable with -device
and device_add, but they are reported as user-creatable on
"-device help" and through monitor interfaces.
Mark them as not user-creatable to avoid confusing users, and to
allow automated testing (e.g. scripts/device-crash-test) to skip
them.
Before this patch, device-crash-test will try to test
virtio-device devices with all machine-types:
$ time ./scripts/device-crash-test -D virtio-device -v
./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64
[...]
INFO: Total: 1088 test cases
INFO: Skipped 408 test cases
real 0m49.775s
After this patch, the script won't try to test virtio-device
devices:
$ time ./scripts/device-crash-test -D virtio-device -v
./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64
INFO: Total: 0 test cases
real 0m0.092s
