There are IIRC 3 board models which don't support sd via -device. Also
there isn't much documentation that would guide us how to use -device
instead of -drive for this. Said that, most boards are already converted
and have e.g. explicit SD controllers, so many cases would be fixable,
but that requires some deep knowledge of qemu.
