Hmm - I wonder if Coccinelle is powerful enough to find all QemuOptDesc
initializers that .type to something other than QEMU_OPT_STRING and also
set .def_value_str; including initializers that did not use C99
named-member initialization (if we have any of those). (Those are the
candidates to start using .def_value_int)
