scripts/device-crash-test reports a new "crash" with current QEMU master
branch, where QEMU aborts like this:

aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -S -machine virt-2.9,accel=tcg
-device ramfb
hw/arm/sysbus-fdt.c:422:vfio_platform_match: Object 0x564cf9ae8f80 is
not an instance of type vfio-platform
Aborted (core dumped)

I think it is likely due to this patch here ... any chance that you
could make this a little bit more user friendly instead of aborting the
hard way here?

 Thanks,
  Thomas
