This should fail hard if the provided value is the wrong length - currently
it falls back with a warning IIUC.

Was this old fallback behaviour actually useful ? IIUC it means it is using
static char default_osk[64] = "This is a dummy key. Enter the real key "
"using the -osk parameter";
which obviously isn't a valid key that will work with any gust OS that
cares. I guess it at least let QEMU startup, but any the guest OS that
checks the key will be unhappy.
If if don't think default_osk is actually useful, then we could simplify
further to
if (s->osk && s->use_host_osk) {
error_setg(errp, ...)
} else if (s->osk) {
/* Use osk. Fail hard if invalid (ie wrong length) */
} else if (s->use_host_osk) {
/* Use host OSK. Fail hard if we can't find it */
} else {
/* try to use host OSK, fail hard if we can't find it or non-OS-X build */
}

Daniel
