This patch series QOM'ify timer code under hw/timer directory.
Main idea is to split the initfn's work, some to TypeInfo.instance_init
and some is placed in DeviceClass::realize.
Drop the use of SysBusDeviceClass::init if possible.

Patch 3,4 (m48t59) has been tested in a sparc vm with debian linux guest
and savevm/loadvm looks fine. 
Comments from the relevant maintainers are needed!
