So, SNACK to this. Qemu moved the parameters at some time but this does
not do any capability checking so it may have broken older qemus.

I'll strip this patch and the fallout from this series and just send the
refactors. Later on I'll conditionally enable this when we start using
-blockdev and thus these would be lost.
