[PATCH 0/8] hw/ppc: Convert UIC device to QOM

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

This patchseries converts the PPC UIC "Universal Interrupt
Controller" to a QOM device.  My main reason for doing it is that
this fixes a couple of long-standing trivial Coverity issues -- the
current ppcuic_init() function allocates an array of qemu_irqs which
the callers then leak.  (The leak is trivial because it happens once
when QEMU starts.)

The patchseries converts the UIC to a QOM device but initially leaves
the old ppcuic_init() creation function with its old API intact.  It
then goes through converting the various boards that were using
ppcuic_init() to instead directly create the UIC using the usual qdev
APIs, so that it can delete the ppcuic_init() function entirely.

The patchset includes one patch which deletes 350 lines of dead code
-- the ppc405cr_init() function seems to have never been used since
it was added in 2007, so rather than converting this user of
ppcuic_init() it seemed more sensible to delete it.

I have tested with 'make check' and 'make check-acceptance' but I
don't think the latter really exercises the affected boards, which
are:

 bamboo
 ref405ep
 sam460ex
 taihu
 virtex-ml507

I found instructions on how to boot an AROS image on sam460ex, so I
have tested that: it works as well after this series as it did before
(gets to "Libs/workbench.library" and stops); it does seem to
successfully do things like scanning the USB bus and responding to
keyboard input at the boot menu, which suggests that IRQs must be
working.

Side note: the 'irq_inputs' hacks in the PPC CPU I think would really
benefit from conversion to being qdev gpio inputs now that CPUs are
real devices. There are also a lot of non-QOM devices in this
ppc4xx code if anybody is interested in working on more QOM
conversions for these boards.

thanks
