seems to be run, with an invalid option being
silently ignored. Is this intentional?

It is a invalid driver which is ignored ...

Invalid options *are* catched (try "virtio-net-pci.foo=42").

I think failing with an error would be better ...

Indeed.  I think this needs a separate verification pass; IIRC the list 
of drivers (and busses, remember PCI.prop=something works too) doesn't 
exist yet at command line option parsing time.

cheers,
