If qdev_try_create() is passed NULL for the bus, it will automatically put the newly created device onto the default system bus. However if the device is not actually a SysBusDevice then this will result in later crashes (for instance when running the monitor "info qtree" command) because code reasonably assumes that all devices on the system bus are system bus devices. Generally the mistake is that the calling code should create the object with object_new(TYPE_FOO) rather than qdev_create(NULL, TYPE_FOO); see commit 6749695eaaf346c1 for an example of fixing this bug. Assert in qdev_try_create() if the device isn't suitable to put on the system bus, so that this mistake results in failure earlier and more reliably.
