[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC for-2.3? 0/8] prep: Fix pc87312 for -device usage

["Andreas Färber" <afaerber@suse.de>]

Hello Markus et al.,

This series attempts to fix the -device pc87312 issues you reported.

I can't add alias properties for devices that don't get created before realize.
Therefore this involves moving code for various ISA devices, to enable us
to initialize the objects early for alias properties and realizing them
as part of the composite device once the configuration is known, also fixing
error propagation while at it. Probably needs a further iteration.

Yes, it's terribly invasive, that's why the code was as it is.
But the code movements are quite trivial, as long as no in-air conflicts occur.

A follow-up would be to respin my old ISA enabled/disabled series to allow
inactive ISADevices sitting on an ISABus.

Regards,
Andreas
