-pcidevice broken - fix or remove it?

Hi,

looks like the documented way to configure device assignment at qemu-kvm
level is broken in 0.13 and git head:

  # qemu-system-x86_64 -pcidevice host=0:1a.0
  qemu-system-x86_64: Parameter 'id' expects an identifier
  Identifiers consist of letters, digits, '-', '.', '_', starting with a letter.
  pcidevice argument parse error; please check the help text for usage

"-device pci-assign" works, but only if specify "iommu=0" (otherwise: No
IOMMU found.  Unable to assign device "(null)").

Fix that legacy qemu-kvm switch or remove it at this chance? No one
seems to have complained yet.

Jan
