You bet ... alone in qemu-system-aarch64, "-device help" shows more than
120 devices without a category...

So if we'd want to enforce this, there is a lot of clean-up work needed
first. Once we're in a good shape, I think a "make check" test would be
the right thing to enforce that future devices are always provided with
a category.
