Users read changelogs. Packagers read changelogs. QEMU Developers read mailing
lists. Libvirt developers might read changelogs. Qdev is a QEMU developer
visible feature, so it doesn't belong into the changelog. Unless you want to
argue that it makes stuff available through -device at which point it's
management tool visible. Oh well. I probably just don't want to bloat it too
much :).

If it's been posted on the ML, nobody complained on it and it's in the
maintainer's queue, it's fine to update the changelog imho :).
