It seems to me that if you want the maintainers of the random
oddball platforms and devices to do qdev conversion, this is
much more likely to happen if it's clearly documented how to
do it. Otherwise the only people who can do a good qdev
conversion are the people who care about qdev and it has
to be their responsibility to convert everybody over...
