[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 1/2] qom: Detect attempts to add a property that already exists

[Peter Maydell]

Detect attempts to add a property to an object if one of
that name already exists, and report them as critical
errors. In particular, for static properties (eg qdev
Property arrays) this will manifest as an abort() with
a useful error message.
