The point of writing a macro embedded in a 'do { ... } while (0)'
loop (particularly if the macro has multiple statements or would
otherwise end with an 'if' statement) is so that the macro can be
used as a drop-in statement with the caller supplying the
trailing ';'. Although our coding style frowns on brace-less 'if':
if (cond)
statement;
else
something else;
that is the classic case where failure to use do/while(0) wrapping
would cause the 'else' to pair with any embedded 'if' in the macro
rather than the intended outer 'if'. But conversely, if the macro
includes an embedded ';', then the same brace-less coding style
would now have two statements, making the 'else' a syntax error
rather than pairing with the outer 'if'. Thus, even though our
coding style with required braces is not impacted, ending a macro
with ';' makes our code harder to port to projects that use
brace-less styles.
The change should have no semantic impact. I was not able to
fully compile-test all of the changes (as some of them are
examples of the ugly bit-rotting debug print statements that are
completely elided by default, and I didn't want to recompile
with the necessary -D witnesses - cleaning those up is left as a
bite-sized task for another day); I did, however, audit that for
all files touched, all callers of the changed macros DID supply
a trailing ';' at the callsite, and did not appear to be used
as part of a brace-less conditional.
Found mechanically via: $ git grep -B1 'while (0);' | grep -A1 \\\\

The mmio-interface device is not something we want to allow
users to create on the command line:
* it is intended as an implementation detail of the memory
subsystem, which gets created and deleted by that
subsystem on demand; it makes no sense to create it
by hand on the command line
* it uses a pointer property 'host_ptr' which can't be
set on the command line
Mark the device as not user_creatable to avoid confusion.

QEMU currently abort()s if the user tries to specify the mmio_interface
device without parameters:
x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -nographic -device mmio_interface
qemu-system-x86_64: /home/thuth/devel/qemu/util/error.c:57: error_setv:
Assertion `*errp == ((void *)0)' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
This happens because the realize function is trying to set the errp
twice in this case. After setting an error, the realize function
should immediately return instead.
