This is user-visible, so appropriate during freeze as a bug fix.  It's 
closes to the error/qapi code that Markus normally maintains (and where 
I'm filling in while he is out), so I'll queue this one on my QAPI tree.

These are cosmetic; they should be no-ops.  2 and 3 are again best 
through error/qapi, while 4 is more generic, but there's little reason 
to split up the series just because 4 is not as closely related.  Unless 
anyone has an opinion otherwise, I'm planning to also include them in my 
QAPI tree for 2.12.
