  Hi,

qemu silently creates default devices for you if you didn't specify one
on the command line, i.e. you'll get a vga, a serial port, a nic, ...
created by default.  Right now this doesn't integrate with qdev at all,
i.e. if you try to add -- for example -- a serial line the new qdev way
using '-device isa-serial,chardev=something' it will conflict with the
automagically created serial port.  This patch series addresses this
problem.

cheers,
  Gerd
