If the user requested a filter and it can't be supported, QEMU
must exit with an error, not ignore the user's request.

Warning on user syntax errors is undesirable - it should be a fatal
error of the user gets this wrong.

Likewise should be fatal.

..[1] then implementing a custom parser is rather a QEMU design anti-pattern,
especially when the proposed syntax is incapable of being mapped into the
normal QAPI syntax for a list of structs should we want to fully convert
-cpu to QAPI parsing later. I wonder if can we model this property with
QAPI now ?
