[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 04/12] sysbus: Fix latent bug with onboard devices

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

The first call of sysbus_get_default() creates the main system bus and
stores it in QOM as "/machine/unattached/sysbus".  This must not
happen before main() creates "/machine", or else container_get() would
"helpfully" create it as "container" object, and the real creation of
"/machine" would later abort with "attempt to add duplicate property
'machine' to object (type 'container')".  Has been that way ever since
we wired up busses in QOM (commit f968fc6892d, v1.2.0).

I believe the bug is latent.  I got it to bite by trying to
qdev_create() a sysbus device from a machine's .instance_init()
method.

The fix is obvious: store the main system bus in QOM right after
creating "/machine".
