What do the following commands produce (assuming that both qemu and
qemu-kvm on your PATH are the binaries that you are testing with)?

qemu -version
qemu-kvm -version
qemu -device '?'
echo $?
qemu -device 'pci-assign,?'
echo $?
qemu -device '?' -device 'pci-assign,?'
echo $?
qemu-kvm -device '?'
echo $?
qemu-kvm -device 'pci-assign,?'
echo $?
qemu-kvm -device '?' -device 'pci-assign,?'
echo $?

Depending on those results, I will probably be able to come up with a
followup patch that helps you run again (it may just be a matter of
ignoring non-zero exit status, or of adding the extra "-device","?",
arguments in order to ensure that qemu doesn't error out on unknown
devices).

For example, in my case, I know that with the qemu 0.13.0 package in
Fedora 14, 'qemu -device pci-assign,?' fails but 'qemu-kvm -device
pci-assign,?' succeeds; and for both binaries, '$binary -device ?
-device pci-assign,?' succeeds but has more output for qemu-kvm than for
qemu.
