qemu_opts_set is used to create default network backends and to parse sugar options -kernel, -initrd, -append, -bios and -dtb. These are very different uses: I would *expect* a function named qemu_opts_set to set an option in a merge-lists QemuOptsList, such as -kernel, and possibly to set an option in a non-merge-lists QemuOptsList with non-NULL id, similar to -set. However, it wouldn't *work* to use qemu_opts_set for the latter because qemu_opts_set uses fail_if_exists==1. So, for non-merge-lists QemuOptsList and non-NULL id, the semantics of qemu_opts_set (fail if the (QemuOptsList, id) pair already exists) are debatable. On the other hand, I would not expect qemu_opts_set to create a non-merge-lists QemuOpts with a single option; which it does, though. For this case of non-merge-lists QemuOptsList and NULL id, qemu_opts_set hardly adds value over qemu_opts_parse. It does skip some parsing and unescaping, but that's not needed when creating default network backends. So qemu_opts_set has warty behavior for non-merge-lists QemuOptsList if id is non-NULL, and it's mostly pointless if id is NULL. My solution to keeping the API as simple as possible is to limit qemu_opts_set to merge-lists QemuOptsList. For them, it's useful (we don't want comma-unescaping for -kernel) *and* has sane semantics. Network backend creation is switched to qemu_opts_parse. qemu_opts_set is now only used on merge-lists QemuOptsList... except in the testcase, which is changed to use a merge-list QemuOptsList. With this change we can also remove the id parameter. With the parameter always NULL, we know that qemu_opts_create cannot fail and can pass &error_abort to it.
