This reverts commit 2ba6edf0dd.
The commit has two issues:
* When it runs from the monitor, e.g. "device_add e1000,?", it prints
to stderr instead of the monitor.
* Help looks to callers just like failed device creation. This makes
main() exit unsuccessfully on "-device e1000,?".
We need to do this differently.

This reverts commit 922910ce42.
The commit has four issues:
* When it runs from the monitor, e.g. "device_add e1000,mac=?", it
prints to stderr instead of the monitor.
* Help looks to callers just like failed device creation. This makes
main() exit unsuccessfully on "-device e1000,mac=?".
* It has an undocumented side effect on -global: "-global e1000.mac=?"
prints help, but only when we actually add an e1000 device.
* It does not work for properties that accept the value "?".
We need to do this differently.

When called with property value "?",
a help text will be printed (instead of an error message).
This is useful for command lines like
qemu -device e1000,mac=?
and is already standard for other command line options.
A better help text could be provided by extending
the Property structure with a desc field.

This adds "bit" property type, which is a boolean stored in a 32 bit
integer field, with legal values on and off. Will be used by virtio for
feature bits.

Add a error message in case we fail to parse a qdev property.
Also make qemu not abort() in case setting a global property can't be
set. This used to be a clear programming error. The introduction of
the -global switch changed that though, so better exit instead (after
printing the new error message).

This patch renames the compat properties into global properties and
makes them more generic. The compatibility stuff is only one of

This add support for switching devices into a compatibility mode
using device properties. Machine types can have a list of properties
for specific devices attached to allow the easy creation of machine
types compatible to older qemu versions.

This patch is a major overhaul of the device properties. The properties
are saved directly in the device state struct now, the linked list of
property values is gone.
Advantages:
* We don't have to maintain the list with the property values.
* The value in the property list and the value actually used by
the device can't go out of sync any more (used to happen for
the pci.devfn == -1 case) because there is only one place where
the value is stored.
* A record describing the property is required now, you can't set
random properties any more.
There are bus-specific and device-specific properties. The former
should be used for properties common to all bus drivers. Typical
use case is bus addressing, i.e. pci.devfn and i2c.address.
Properties have a PropertyInfo struct attached with name, size and
function pointers to parse and print properties. A few common property
types have PropertyInfos defined in qdev-properties.c. Drivers are free
to implement their own very special property parsers if needed.
Properties can have default values. If unset they are zero-filled.
