my plan for vmstate was to name this "bool32", as it feels more
descriptive (on QDEV, we can change it, but for qemu for compatibility
reasons, it needs to stay as 4 bytes on the wire, but we can have a bool
on the struct).

This are all the uses of DEFINE_PROP_BIT.

./hw/scsi-disk.c:1736:            DEFINE_PROP_BIT("removable", SCSIDiskState, 
removable, 0, false),

Con be movde to bool

./hw/scsi-disk.c:1780:            DEFINE_PROP_BIT("removable", SCSIDiskState, 
removable, 0, false),

same

./hw/usb-msd.c:658:        DEFINE_PROP_BIT("removable", MSDState, removable, 0, 
false),

    s->scsi_dev = scsi_bus_legacy_add_drive(&s->bus, bs, 0, !!s->removable,
                                            s->conf.bootindex);
*should* be moved to bool

./hw/hpet.c:707:        DEFINE_PROP_BIT("msi", HPETState, flags, 
HPET_MSI_SUPPORT, false),

it is a bitmap with only one bit defined, not sure about this one.

As I am joining late to this discussion, I am not going to point it very
strong.  But I think that it is an easy to have a single bool type that
accept yes/on/true and no/off/false.  Didn't really see a strong
advantage with the split.

Later, Juan.
