This change is perhaps not useful, it would be useful with hot-plugged
/ proxied pci devices.  I think they are desirable features. But the
patchsets submitted turn out to depend on too much kvm code to ever
work alone so I might just as well revert :(

You might not want qemu to quit a running session if it's possible to
continue running, even if there turns out to be a serious bug.
