Reproduce this bug with qemu-kvm-common-1.5.3-14.el7.x86_64

host:
qemu-kvm-common-1.5.3-14.el7.x86_64
qemu-img-1.5.3-14.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-tools-1.5.3-14.el7.x86_64
libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu-1.1.1-12.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-14.el7.x86_64

steps:
1 List qemu-kvm device name.
 #/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device ?

2 Run following command line
 #/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device isa-vga -monitor stdio
 #/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device isa-cirrus-vga -monitor stdio

result:
1 Got following in device list.
name "isa-vga", bus ISA
name "isa-cirrus-vga", bus ISA

2 qemu-kvm accepted isa-vga and isa-cirrus-vga device.
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device isa-vga -monitor stdio
QEMU 1.5.3 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) VNC server running on `::1:5900'

# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device isa-cirrus-vga -monitor stdio
QEMU 1.5.3 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) VNC server running on `::1:5900'



Verify this bug with qemu-kvm-1.5.3-14.el7.x86_64

steps same as reproduce.

result:
1 Not found isa-vga and isa-cirrus-vga in device list.

2 isa-vga and isa-cirrus-vga is rejected
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device isa-vga -monitor stdio
QEMU 1.5.3 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) qemu-kvm: -device isa-vga: Parameter 'driver' expects device type

# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device isa-cirrus-vga -monitor stdio
QEMU 1.5.3 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) qemu-kvm: -device isa-cirrus-vga: Parameter 'driver' expects device type

so this bug has been fixed.
