The exception to this is the '-serial none' serial device type. This means "don't allocate this serial device", but a bug means that following -serial options are not correctly handled, so that -serial none -serial stdio has the unexpected effect that stdio is connected to the first serial port, not the second. This is a very long-standing bug that dates back at least as far as commit 998bbd74b9d81 from 2009. Make the 'none' serial type move forward in the indexing of serial devices like all the other serial types, so that any subsequent -serial options are correctly handled. Note that if your commandline mistakenly had a '-serial none' that was being overridden by a following '-serial something' option, you should delete the unnecessary '-serial none'. This will give you the same behaviour as before, on QEMU versions both with and without this bug fix.
