30fbb9fc7c qdev: move qdev->info to class
Right now, DeviceInfo acts as the class for qdev.  In order to switch to a
proper ObjectClass derivative, we need to ween all of the callers off of
interacting directly with the info pointer.

80e555c241 qom: introduce get/set methods for Property
This patch adds a visitor interface to Property.  This way, QOM will be
able to expose Properties that access a fixed field in a struct without
exposing also the everything-is-a-string "feature" of qdev properties.

Whenever the printed representation in both QOM and qdev (which is
typically the case for device backends), parse/print code can be reused
via get_generic/set_generic.  Dually, whenever multiple PropertyInfos
have the same representation in both the struct and the visitors the
code can be reused (for example among all of int32/uint32/hex32).

ffe3ce1173 pci-devfn: check that device/slot number is within range
Need to check that guest slot/device number is not > 31 or walk off
the devfn table when checking if a devfn is available or not in a guest.

before this fix, passing in an addr=abc  or addr=34,
can crash qemu, sometimes fail gracefully if data past end
of devfn table fails the availability test.

with this fix, get clean error:
Property 'pci-assign.addr' doesn't take value '34'

also tested when no addr= param passed for guest (pcicfg) address,
and that worked as well.

18846dee1a block: Catch attempt to attach multiple devices to a blockdev
For instance, -device scsi-disk,drive=foo -device scsi-disk,drive=foo
happily creates two SCSI disks connected to the same block device.
It's all downhill from there.

Device usb-storage deliberately attaches twice to the same blockdev,
which fails with the fix in place.  Detach before the second attach
there.

Also catch attempt to delete while a guest device model is attached.

f8b6cc0070 qdev: Decouple qdev_prop_drive from DriveInfo
Make the property point to BlockDriverState, cutting out the DriveInfo
middleman.  This prepares the ground for block devices that don't have
a DriveInfo.

Currently all user-defined ones have a DriveInfo, because the only way
to define one is -drive & friends (they go through drive_init()).
DriveInfo is closely tied to -drive, and like -drive, it mixes
information about host and guest part of the block device.  I'm
working towards a new way to define block devices, with clean
host/guest separation, and I need to get DriveInfo out of the way for
that.

Fortunately, the device models are perfectly happy with
BlockDriverState, except for two places: ide_drive_initfn() and
scsi_disk_initfn() need to check the DriveInfo for a serial number set
with legacy -drive serial=...  Use drive_get_by_blockdev() there.

Device model code should now use DriveInfo only when explicitly
dealing with drives defined the old way, i.e. without -device.

14bafc5407 blockdev: Clean up automatic drive deletion
We automatically delete blockdev host parts on unplug of the guest
device.  Too much magic, but we can't change that now.

The delete happens early in the guest device teardown, before the
connection to the host part is severed.  Thus, the guest part's
pointer to the host part dangles for a brief time.  No actual harm
comes from this, but we'll catch such dangling pointers a few commits
down the road.  Clean up the dangling pointers by delaying the
automatic deletion until the guest part's pointer is gone.

Device usb-storage deliberately makes two qdev properties refer to the
same drive, because it automatically creates a second device.  Again,
too much magic we can't change now.  Multiple references worked okay
before, but now free_drive() dies for the second one.  Zap the extra
reference.

b6b6114460 qdev/compat: compat property infrastructure.
This add support for switching devices into a compatibility mode
using device properties.  Machine types can have a list of properties
for specific devices attached to allow the easy creation of machine
types compatible to older qemu versions.

ee6847d19b qdev: rework device properties.
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.
