We have a public bug open for this issue. It's nice to add those in the commit
message, if someone wants to know why the commit was added in the future.

This comment is redundant - it basically repeats the error message.

We prefer putting 'else' on the same line as the closing brace of the 'if' block:

This is not true. For example: you can use one VNC and one SPICE graphics,
both with different listen addresses. How about 'QEMU does not support
multiple listen addresses for one graphics device'?
