I don't necessarily require review [*]. I would like *somebody* other
than you Xilinx folk to say "yes, I think I would use this for
modelling devices". Otherwise all we have is "weird thing used
only in two or three Xilinx devices and nowhere else", which I'm
a bit reluctant to let into the tree. We already have a pretty
wide divergence in how devices look just based on the various
transitions from older to newer qdev/QOM/etc that are not complete.

[*] by which I mean, I will review this series if you can find
somebody else who's going to say they'd use it.
