Aside: more ->user_creatable = false without a comment have crept in
since I last swept them out.

A pointer property can't be set by -device because there's no sane way
to pick a value. Not true for a link property: it's value is a QOM
path. But I'm not sure such setting of link properties has been
implemented. If it isn't, then /* Reason: link property "ps2_mouse */
is perfect. If it isn, then it's wrong, possibly along with with
dc->user_creatable = false.
