In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list.
The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something
like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input
and cope with it.
This reverts commit 99a0949b72.

Sorry folks, but it has to be. One more of these invasive qdev patches.
We have a serious design bug in the qdev interface: device init
callbacks can't signal failure because the init() callback has no
return value. This patch fixes it.
We have already one case in-tree where this is needed:
Try -device virtio-blk-pci (without drive= specified) and watch qemu
segfault. This patch fixes it.
With usb+scsi being converted to qdev we'll get more devices where the
init callback can fail for various reasons.

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.

The parameter is always zero except when registering the three internal
io regions (ROM, unassigned, notdirty). Remove the parameter to reduce
the API's power, thus facilitating future change.
