[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 01/24] xics: XICS should not be a SysBusDevice

["Cédric Le Goater" <clg@kaod.org>]

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

Currently xics - the component of the IBM POWER interrupt controller
representing the overall interrupt fabric / architecture is
represented as a descendent of SysBusDevice.  However, this is not
really correct - the xics presents nothing in MMIO space so it should
be an "unattached" device in the current QOM model.

Since this device will always be created by the machine type, not created
specifically from the command line, and because it has no migrated state
it should be safe to move it around the device composition tree.

Therefore this patch changes it to a descendent of TYPE_DEVICE, and makes
it an unattached device.
