The QOM framework will attempt the recreate a classes interface list from
scratch for each class. This means that a child class should zero out the
list of interfaces when cloned from the parent class.
Currently the list is memcpy()d from the parent to the child. As the interface
list is just a pointer to a list, this means the parent and child will share
the same list of interfaces. When the child inits, it will append its own
interfaces to the parents list. This is incorrect as the parent should not pick
up its childs interfaces.
This actually causes an infinite loop at class init time, as the child will
iterate through the parent interface list adding each itf to its own list(in
type_initialize()). As the list is (erroneously) shared, the new interface
instances for the child are appended to the parent, and the iterator never hits
the tail and loops forever.

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.

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

Now we have the following behavior:

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
