I don't like "vmware_vga" here.  The command line option that makes us
go here is spelled "-vga vmware", and the qdev is called "vmware-svga".
What about "-vga vmware is not available"?

Two failure modes:

* pci_try_create() fails, which can happen only if no such qdev
  "vmware-svga" exists.

* qdev_init() fails.

The caller can't distinguish between the two, and assumes any failure
must be the former.

The assumption is actually correct, because pci_vmsvga_initfn() never
fails, and thus qdev_init() never fails.  Brittle.


pci_vmsvga_init() is a convenience function for board setup code.  Why
not make it more convenient and concentrate the error handling there
rather than duplicating it in each caller?

Nice side effect: no need to conflate the failure modes, no need for the
brittle assumption.

Maybe. Patches welcome.

Instead of bool, the function could return int with various error
values like -ENOENT etc. Do we care enough?

Nice idea, how about a patch?
