The same bug also affects other abstract type names mentioned on compat_props by machine-types: apic-common, i386-cpu, pci-device, powerpc64-cpu, s390-skeys, spapr-pci-host-bridge, usb-device, virtio-pci, x86_64-cpu. The right fix for this problem is to make sure compat_props and -global options are always applied in the order they are registered, instead of reordering them based on the type hierarchy. But changing the ordering rules of -global is risky and might break existing configurations, so we shouldn't do that on a stable branch. This is a temporary hack that will work around the bug when registering compat_props properties: if we find an abstract class on compat_props, register properties for all its non-abstract subtypes instead. This will make sure -global won't be overridden by compat_props, while keeping the existing ordering rules on -global options. Note that there's one case that won't be fixed by this hack: "-global spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge.
