  Hi,

Qemu creates a bunch of default devices (serial, parallel, vga, ...) if
the user didn't specify one on the command line.  Unfortunaly this
doesn't work well with the qdev way of doing things because this logic
is tied to the -serial, -parallel, ... command line switches.  Devices
created via -device are ignored.  This patch set fixes this.  It also
adds a command line switch to disable all default devices and does a few
cleanups in the code touched anyway.

New in v3: Rebased against latest master.  Two patches (qmp monitor +
s390 console) came into the way.  Because the way how serial lines and
the monitor are initialized changes quite heavily it looked alot cleaner
to me just revert those patches, apply the v2 patches, then reimplement
the two patches on top of that.

For the snake of simplifying testing of this series three patches where
added (patches 13,14,15) which are already in staging.  They can just be
dropped when merging.  When needed I can create a v4 without them (after
they got merged into master).

Luiz + Alex, please have a closer look at this.
