The benefit is being able to switch parsers (for everything but -device to begin with) away from QemuOpts. Non-scalar priorities have a use for machine, accel and object, but for now not for device. Alternatively I can: 1) keep QemuOpts as the parser, and turn the options into qdict, instead of using keyval 2) move -set out of config-file.c and into vl.c, so that I can special case the monkey patching.
