The obvious way to return them is to put them right back in
qemu_machine_opts.desc[].  But then -machine rejects machine-specific
parameters.

Hack: monkey-patch them in after we're done parsing.

Cleaner: "empty desc[] means accept anything" has always been overly
restrictive.  Have a flag "accept additional parameters".

We may have to do the former for 2.3, but that's no excuse not to
replace it by something less gross in 2.4.
