When not all fields of the --global option are provided,
QEMU might crash:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -global driver=isa-fdc
qemu-system-x86_64: ../../devel/qemu/qapi/string-input-visitor.c:394:
string_input_visitor_new: Assertion `str' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
Fix by only allowing --global with all 3 fields:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -global driver=isa-fdc
Invalid 'global' option format. It must be provided as:
--global <driver>.<property>=<value>
