I object to calling any change good if it causes a segfault anywhere 
else in the code, even if it may be good from a QOM-only point of view. 
  After a month the change hasn't been reverted yet, so I don't think 
people are trying too hard.  But reverting is always one of the possible 
solutions.  Reapplying a reverted patch is easy.

Define "qdev", please.
