The reference count for embedded objects is always one too low, because
object_initialize_with_type returns with zero references to the object.
This causes premature finalization of the object (or an assertion failure)
after calling object_ref to add an extra reference and object_unref to
remove it.
The fix is to move the initial object_ref call from object_new_with_type
to object_initialize_with_type.

object_deinit is only called when the reference count goes to zero,
and yet tries to do an object_unparent. Now, object_unparent
either does nothing or it will decrease the reference count.
Because we know the reference count is zero, the object_unparent
call in object_deinit is useless.
Instead, we need to disconnect the object from its parent just
before we remove the last reference apart from the parent's. This
happens in object_delete. Once we do this, all calls to
object_unparent peppered through QEMU can go away.

The current implementation of Interfaces is poorly designed. Each interface
that an object implements ends up being an object that's tracked by the
implementing object. There's all sorts of gymnastics to deal with casting
between these objects.
But an interface shouldn't be associated with an Object. Interfaces are global
to a class. This patch moves all Interface knowledge to ObjectClass eliminating
the relationship between Object and Interfaces.
Interfaces are now abstract (as they should be) but this is okay. Interfaces
essentially act as additional parents for the classes and are treated as such.
With this new implementation, we should fully support derived interfaces
including reimplementing an inherited interface.
PC: Rebased against qom-next merge Jun-2012.
PC: Removed replication of cast logic for interfaces, i.e. there is only
one cast function - object_dynamic_cast() (and object_dynamic_cast_assert())

This allows to restrict partial matches to objects of the expected
type. It will let people use bare names to reference drives
even though their name might be the same as a device's (e.g.
-drive id=hd0,if=none,... -device ...,drive=hd0,id=hd0).
As a useful byproduct, this fixes a problem with links of interface
type. When a link property's type is an interface, the code expects
the implementation object (not the parent object) to be stored in the
variable. The parent object does not contain the right vtable.

Now we have the following behavior:
1) object_new() returns an object with ref = 1
2) object_initialize() does not increase the reference count (ref may be 0).
3) object_deref() will finalize the object when ref = 0. it does not free the
memory associated with the object.
4) both link and child properties correctly set the reference count.
The expected usage is the following:
1) child devices should generally be created via object_initialize() using
memory from the parent device. Adding the object as a child property will
take ownership of the object and tie the child's life cycle to the parent.
2) If a child device is created via qdev_create() or some other form of
object_new(), there must be an object_delete() call in the parent device's
finalize function.
