Sorry folks, but it has to be. One more of these invasive qdev patches.
We have a serious design bug in the qdev interface: device init
callbacks can't signal failure because the init() callback has no
return value. This patch fixes it.
We have already one case in-tree where this is needed:
Try -device virtio-blk-pci (without drive= specified) and watch qemu
segfault. This patch fixes it.
With usb+scsi being converted to qdev we'll get more devices where the
init callback can fail for various reasons.

-watchdog NAME is now equivalent to -device NAME, except it treats
option argument '?' specially, and supports only one watchdog.
A side effect is that a device created with -watchdog may now receive
a different PCI address.
i6300esb is now available on any machine with a PCI bus, not just PCs.
ib700 is still PC only, but that could be changed easily.
The only remaining use of struct WatchdogTimerModel and
watchdog_add_model() is supporting '-watchdog ?'. Should be replaced
by searching device_info_list for watchdog devices when we can
identify them there.
Also fixes ib700 not to use vm_clock before it is initialized: in
wdt_ib700_init(), called from register_watchdogs(), which runs before
init_timers(). The bug made ib700_write_enable_reg() crash in
qemu_del_timer().

Here is an updated hardware watchdog patch, which should fix
everything that was raised about the previous version ...
