Here is my thinking: if you used -writeconfig, your machine description
is (at least in theory) entirely included in the config file including
(again in theory) the default devices. So, if the machine description
has no parallel port, QEMU should not create a default one when you load
it with -readconfig.
It's not really about usefulness in other words; it's more whether you
think it fits in -{read,write}config's design or not.
