Hmm, I was not able to find any further examples for this mixture of standard device syntax and special interpretation of numerical values - even in the qemu-doc, the only place where the special case of 'port' was mentioned. So I still see this as a significant improvements as it - aligns -gdb to the standard syntax use in -monitor, -serial or -parallel, making the interface more intuitive - documents this properly I will adjust description to clarify that this patch refactors the existing feature into a canonical form, but does not actually add a new o= ne.
