Since QEMU 1.5.3, the ib700 watchdog device has no options for address, and not address in device tree: $ /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -version QEMU emulator version 1.5.3 (qemu-kvm-1.5.3-175.el7), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard $ /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -device ib700,\? $ virsh qemu-monitor-command seabios --hmp info qtree|grep ib700 -A 2 dev: ib700, id "watchdog0" dev: isa-serial, id "serial0" index = 0 So only allow it to use none address.
