Hi,

Use case for module_load_qom_all() is someone enumerating the qom
objects available. So we load all modules known to have all object
types registered and can return a complete list.
It could be that some of the known modules are not there. Consider a
distro packaging modules which depend on shared libraries into optional
sub-rpms, to reduce the dependency chain of core qemu. So, with core
qemu installed and (some of) the sub-rpms not installed
module_load_qom_all() will obviously fail to load some modules.
But I don't think those errors should be reported. The object types
implemented by the missing modules will also be missing from the object
type list ...
Example: hw-usb-host.so is not installed.
=> 'qemu -device help' should IMHO not report the module load error
and just not list the 'usb-host' device.
=> 'qemu -device usb-host' should report the module load error.
take care,
Gerd
