qdev_device_help() prints device information with qemu_error().  A
later commit will make qemu_error() print additional stuff that is
only appropriate for proper errors, and then this will break.  Use
error_printf() instead.

While there, simplify: instead of printing a buffer filled by
qdev_print_devinfo() in one go, make qdev_print_devinfo() print it.

 Aren't you abusing the error function just like the current code? Also,
I think that this information should be printed to stdout.

error_printf() isn't a function to report an error.  It's a function to
print to the error destination, which is either the current monitor or
stderr.  It serves as a building block for functions that report an
error.

Agree in principle.  Existing code is sloppy about stdout vs. stderr,
however.  If it's important to start cleaning that up *now*, we could
add functions to print to the "user destination", which is either the
current monitor or stdout.

In any case, it needs to be a separate commit, because this commit
should do just one thing: fix the qemu_error() abuse.  Proper use of
stderr and stdout is a separate issue.

 Makes sense.

 Okay.
