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.

Character devices defined with -serial and -parallel are for board
initialization to wire up. Board code examines serial_hds[] and
parallel_hds[] to find them, and creates devices with their qdev
chardev properties set accordingly.
Except a few devices go on a fishing expedition for a suitable backend
instead of exposing a chardev property for board code to set: they use
serial_hds[] (often via qemu_char_get_next_serial()) or parallel_hds[]
in their realize() or init() method to connect to a backend.
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 it inconsistent with how the other characrer device models
work (they connect to a backend explicitly identified by a "chardev"
property), it breaks when the backend has been picked up by the board
or a previous -device / device_add already.
Example:
$ qemu-system-ppc64 -M bamboo -S -device i82378 -device pc87312 -device pc87312
qemu-system-ppc64: -device pc87312: Property 'isa-parallel.chardev' can't take value 'parallel0', it's in use
Mark them with suitable FIXME comments.

Rename etrax_serial to ETRAXSerial, introduce type constant and use QOM
casts.
