Negative, see my review. If you want to fix up and queue patches 1-2
that's fine with me, but the others need a respin. No major blocker
though, just some more footwork mostly related to QOM and Jason's
shifted focus on cpu-add rather than device_add.

Open issues:
* Might ipi_states need to become a device due to migration?
* QOM properties considerations
* Device creation in qdev initfn
* Parent field access
* QOM-unfriendly creation and reliance upon helper function
