Done, pull req with this and other 3.1 fixes sent.

I'm wondering how difficuilt it would be to add that when limiting that
to the command line switches which already use qapi parsers (-blockdev
and -display as far I know).  Might increase the motivation of others to
help moving parsers from whatever they do today (QemuOpts, ...) to qapi
to get introspection support ;)
