[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qdev: sysbus_get_default must not return a NULL pointer (fix regression)

[Stefan Weil]

Every system should have some sort of main system bus,
so sysbus_get_default should always return a valid bus.

Without this patch, at least mipssim and malta no longer
start but raise a null pointer access exception (caused by
commit ec990eb622ad46df5ddcb1e94c418c271894d416).
