If might, but it isn't.

This patch introduces a condition that will never be false. Please don't do 
that.  I consider code that is never used to be actively harmful. Any feature 
that requires the user hack the source may as well not exist.  The only 
possible exception is debug output intended solely for qemu developers.

If there's something worth noting for future reference then add a proper 
comment, if necessary marked as TODO/FIXME.
