IIUC, since this device is user-creatable, we can't simply remove it
without going thru the deprecation process. Alternatively we could
add a type alias:

But I'm not sure due to this comment from commit ee46d8a503
(2011-12-22 15:24:20 -0600):

47) /*
48)  * Aliases were a bad idea from the start.  Let's keep them

Maybe using qdev_alias_table[] during device deprecation is
acceptable?
