Device models aren't supposed to go on fishing expeditions for
backends. They should expose suitable properties for the user to set.
For onboard devices, board code sets them.
A number of sysbus devices pick up block backends in their init() /
instance_init() methods with drive_get_next() instead: sl-nand,
milkymist-memcard, pl181, generic-sdhci.
Likewise, a number of sysbus devices pick up character backends in
their init() / realize() methods with qemu_char_get_next_serial():
cadence_uart, digic-uart, etraxfs,serial, lm32-juart, lm32-uart,
milkymist-uart, pl011, stm32f2xx-usart, xlnx.xps-uartlite.
All these mistakes are already marked FIXME. See the commit that
added these FIXMEs for a more detailed explanation of what's wrong.
Fortunately, only machines ppce500 and pseries-* support -device with
sysbus devices, and none of the devices above is supported with these
machines.
Set cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet to preserve our luck.

Drives defined with if!=none are for board initialization to wire up.
Board code calls drive_get() or similar to find them, and creates
devices with their qdev drive properties set accordingly.
Except a few devices go on a fishing expedition for a suitable backend
instead of exposing a drive property for board code to set: they call
driver_get() or drive_get_next() in their realize() or init() method
to implicitly connect to the "next" backend with a certain interface
type.
Picking up backends that way works when the devices are created by
board code. But it's inappropriate for -device or device_add. Not
only is this inconsistent with how the other block device models work
(they connect to a backend explicitly identified by a "drive"
property), it breaks when the "next" backend has been picked up by the
board already.
Example:
$ qemu-system-arm -S -M connex -pflash flash.img -device ssi-sd
Aborted (core dumped)
Mark them with suitable FIXME comments.

Device models should access their block backends only through the
block-backend.h API. Convert them, and drop direct includes of
inappropriate headers.
Just four uses of BlockDriverState are left:
* The Xen paravirtual block device backend (xen_disk.c) opens images
itself when set up via xenbus, bypassing blockdev.c. I figure it
should go through qmp_blockdev_add() instead.
* Device model "usb-storage" prompts for keys. No other device model
does, and this one probably shouldn't do it, either.
* ide_issue_trim_cb() uses bdrv_aio_discard() instead of
blk_aio_discard() because it fishes its backend out of a BlockAIOCB,
which has only the BlockDriverState.
* PC87312State has an unused BlockDriverState[] member.
The next two commits take care of the latter two.

The patch is big, but all it really does is replacing
dinfo->bdrv
by
blk_bs(blk_by_legacy_dinfo(dinfo))
The replacement is repetitive, but the conversion of device models to
BlockBackend is imminent, and will shorten it to just
blk_legacy_dinfo(dinfo).
Line wrapping muddies the waters a bit. I also omit tests whether
dinfo->bdrv is null, because it never is.

device_add plugs devices into suitable bus. For "real" buses, that
actually connects the device. For sysbus, the connections need to be
made separately, and device_add can't do that. The device would be
left unconnected, and could not possibly work.
Quite a few, but not all sysbus devices already set
cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet in their class init function.
Set it in their abstract base's class init function
sysbus_device_class_init(), and remove the now redundant assignments
from device class init functions.

In an ideal world, machines can be built by wiring devices together
with configuration, not code. Unfortunately, that's not the world we
live in right now. We still have quite a few devices that need to be
wired up by code. If you try to device_add such a device, it'll fail
in sometimes mysterious ways. If you're lucky, you get an
unmysterious immediate crash.
To protect users from such badness, DeviceClass member no_user used to
make device models unavailable with -device / device_add, but that
regressed in commit 18b6dad. The device model is still omitted from
help, but is available anyway.
Attempts to fix the regression have been rejected with the argument
that the purpose of no_user isn't clear, and it's prone to misuse.
This commit clarifies no_user's purpose. Anthony suggested to rename
it cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet_due_to_internal_bugs, which
I shorten somewhat to keep checkpatch happy. While there, make it
bool.
Every use of cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet gets a FIXME
comment asking for rationale. The next few commits will clean them
all up, either by providing a rationale, or by getting rid of the use.
With that done, the regression fix is hopefully acceptable.

IF_NONE allows read-only, which makes forbidding it in this place
for other types pretty much pointless.
Instead, make sure that all devices for which the check would have
errored out check in their init function that they don't get a read-only
BlockDriverState. This catches even cases where IF_NONE and -device is
used.
