Negative, we have PCIDevice, I2CSlave, etc.

The underscore is used in macro names, such as X86_CPU() vs. X86CPU.
If we allow underscores in type names as word separator then sooner or
later we'll run into the same ugly uppercase name conflicts that caused
the huge'ish CPUState refactoring.

.NET avoids four consecutive uppercase letter by writing, e.g.,
XmlDocument. So far we have rather adopted the older (e.g., Java) model
of not lower-casing acronyms. My preference would be for consistency.
