There are currently three types of object_property_add_link() callers:
1. The link property may be set at any time.
2. The link property of a DeviceState instance may only be set before
realize.
3. The link property may never be set, it is read-only.
Something similar can already be achieved with
object_property_add_str()'s set() argument. Follow its example and add
a check() argument to object_property_add_link().
Also provide default check() functions for case #1 and #2. Case #3 is
covered by passing a NULL function pointer.

Some object_property_add_link() callers expect property deletion to
unref the link property object. Other callers expect to manage the
refcount themselves. The former are currently broken and therefore leak
the link property object.
This patch adds a flags argument to object_property_add_link() so the
caller can specify which refcount behavior they require. The new
OBJ_PROP_LINK_UNREF_ON_RELEASE flag causes the link pointer to be
unreferenced when the property is deleted.
This fixes refcount leaks in qdev.c, xilinx_axidma.c, xilinx_axienet.c,
s390-virtio-bus.c, virtio-pci.c, virtio-rng.c, and ui/console.c.
Rationale for refcount behavior:
* hw/core/qdev.c
- bus children are explicitly unreferenced, don't interfere
- parent_bus is essentially a read-only property that doesn't hold a
refcount, don't unref
- hotplug_handler is leaked, do unref
* hw/dma/xilinx_axidma.c
- rx stream "dma" links are set using set_link, therefore they
need unref
- tx streams are set using set_link, therefore they need unref
* hw/net/xilinx_axienet.c
- same reasoning as hw/dma/xilinx_axidma.c
* hw/pcmcia/pxa2xx.c
- pxa2xx bypasses set_link and therefore does not use refcounts
* hw/s390x/s390-virtio-bus.c
* hw/virtio/virtio-pci.c
* hw/virtio/virtio-rng.c
* ui/console.c
- set_link is used and there is no explicit unref, do unref

It allows to:

There should be no need to look up nor enumerate the interface "types",
whose "classes" are really just vtables. Just create the types and
add them to the interface list of the parent type.
Interfaces not registering their type anymore means that accessing
superclass::interface by type name will fail when initializing
subclass::interface. Thus, we need to pre-initialize the subclass's
parent_type field before calling type_initialize. Apart from this, the
interface "types" should never be used and thus it is harmless to leave
them out of the hashtable.
Further, the interface types had a bug with interfaces that are
inherited from a superclass: The implementation type name was wrong
(for example it was subclass::superclass::interface rather than
just subclass::interface). This patch fixes this as well.

The object-cast and class-cast caches cannot be shared because class
caching is conditional on the target type not being an interface and
object caching is unconditional. Leads to a bug when a class cast
to an interface follows an object cast to the same interface type:
FooObject = FOO(obj);
FooClass = FOO_GET_CLASS(obj);
Where TYPE_FOO is an interface. The first (object) cast will be
successful and cache the casting result (i.e. TYPE_FOO will be cached).
The second (class) cast will then check the shared cast cache
and register a hit. The issue is, when a class cast hits in the cache
it just returns a pointer cast of the input class (i.e. the concrete
class).
When casting to an interface, the cast itself must return the
interface class, not the concrete class. The implementation of class
cast caching already ensures that the returned cast result is only
a pointer cast before caching. The object cast logic however does
not have this check.
Resolve by just splitting the object and class caches.

In an ideal world, machines can be built by wiring devices together
with configuration, not code. Unfortunately, that's not the world we
live in right now. We still have quite a few devices that need to be
wired up by code. If you try to device_add such a device, it'll fail
in sometimes mysterious ways. If you're lucky, you get an
unmysterious immediate crash.
To protect users from such badness, DeviceClass member no_user used to
make device models unavailable with -device / device_add, but that
regressed in commit 18b6dad. The device model is still omitted from
help, but is available anyway.
Attempts to fix the regression have been rejected with the argument
that the purpose of no_user isn't clear, and it's prone to misuse.
This commit clarifies no_user's purpose. Anthony suggested to rename
it cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet_due_to_internal_bugs, which
I shorten somewhat to keep checkpatch happy. While there, make it
bool.
Every use of cannot_instantiate_with_device_add_yet gets a FIXME
comment asking for rationale. The next few commits will clean them
all up, either by providing a rationale, or by getting rid of the use.
With that done, the regression fix is hopefully acceptable.

The x86 and ppc targets call cpu_synchronize_state() from their
*_cpu_dump_state() callbacks to ensure that up to date state is dumped
when KVM is enabled (for example when a KVM internal error occurs).
Move this call up into the generic cpu_dump_state() function so that
other KVM targets (namely MIPS) can take advantage of it.
This requires kvm_cpu_synchronize_state() and cpu_synchronize_state() to
be moved out of the #ifdef NEED_CPU_H in <sysemu/kvm.h> so that they're

Commit c643bed99 moved qemu_init_vcpu() calls to common CPUState code.
This causes x86 cpu-add to fail with "KVM: setting VAPIC address failed".
The reason for the failure is that CPUClass::kvm_fd is not yet
initialized in the following call graph:
->x86_cpu_realizefn
->x86_cpu_apic_realize
->qdev_init
->device_set_realized
->device_reset (hotplugged == 1)
->apic_reset_common
->vapic_base_update
->kvm_apic_vapic_base_update
This causes attempted KVM vCPU ioctls to fail.
By contrast, in the non-hotplug case the APIC is reset much later, when
the vCPU is already initialized.
As a quick and safe solution, move the qemu_init_vcpu() call back into
the targets' realize functions.
