All patches: drop the /misc from qapi/misc: in the title, if you don't
mind.

Observation:
                            before series           after
    machine-target.json     14KiB in 325 lines      15KiB in 370 lines
    machine.json            24KiB in 933 lines      43KiB in 1652 lines
    misc.json               38KiB in 1552 lines     18KiB in 796 lines

machine.json is becoming too big.  Can we move some parts to new modules
instead?  Bonus: these modules can then be covered properly in
MAINTAINERS, unlike the machine.json grabbag.

Obvious candidates for moving to new modules:

* PATCH 8 PCI (304 lines)

  This stuff belongs to MAINTAINERS section "PCI".

  Michael, Marcel, any objections to new qapi/pci.json?

  The QMP command code already lives in hw/pci/pci.c: qmp_query_pci().
  Elsewhere, we keep QMP command code in files named like
  hw/pci/pci-qmp-cmds.c, but that's probably overkill for just one
  command.

* PATCH 7 ACPI (154 lines)

  This stuff belongs to MAINTAINERS section "ACPI/SMBIOS", I think.

  Michael, Igor, any objections to new qapi/acpi.json?

  The QMP command code lives in monitor/qmp-cmds.c:
  qmp_query_acpi_ospm_status().  If we move the schema part to
  acpi.json, we should consider moving the C part to hw/acpi/.

* PATCH 9 memory (131 lines)

  MAINTAINERS section?  include/hw/mem/memory-device.h is not covered.
  hw/mem/memory-device.c is under "ACPI/SMBIOS".

  Michael, Igor, should this stuff go into acpi.json, too?

  The QMP command code lives in monitor/qmp-cmds.c:
  qmp_query_memory_size_summary().  If we move the schema part to
  acpi.json, we should consider moving the C part to hw/acpi/.

* Any others?
