  • qdev: rework device properties. ...
    ee6847d1 
    This patch is a major overhaul of the device properties.  The properties
are saved directly in the device state struct now, the linked list of
property values is gone.

Advantages:
  * We don't have to maintain the list with the property values.
  * The value in the property list and the value actually used by
    the device can't go out of sync any more (used to happen for
    the pci.devfn == -1 case) because there is only one place where
    the value is stored.
  * A record describing the property is required now, you can't set
    random properties any more.

There are bus-specific and device-specific properties.  The former
should be used for properties common to all bus drivers.  Typical
use case is bus addressing, i.e. pci.devfn and i2c.address.

Properties have a PropertyInfo struct attached with name, size and
function pointers to parse and print properties.  A few common property
types have PropertyInfos defined in qdev-properties.c.  Drivers are free
to implement their own very special property parsers if needed.

Properties can have default values.  If unset they are zero-filled.

  • qdev: replace bus_type enum with bus_info struct. ...
    10c4c98a 
    BusInfo is filled with name and size (pretty much like I did for
DeviceInfo as well).  There is also a function pointer to print
bus-specific device information to the monitor.  sysbus is hooked
up there, I've also added a print function for PCI.

Device creation is slightly modified as well:  The device type search
loop now also checks the bus type while scanning the list instead of
complaining thereafter in case of a mismatch.  This effectively gives
each bus a private namespace for device names.

  • Add common BusState ...
    02e2da45 
    Implement and use a common device bus state.  The main side-effect is
that creating a bus and attaching it to a parent device are no longer
separate operations.  For legacy code we allow a NULL parent, but that
should go away eventually.

Also tweak creation code to veriry theat a device in on the right bus.
