[Qemu-devel] [RFC] Unifying Reset Functions on the QOM heirachy

[Peter Crosthwaite]

Hi All,

The lastest QOM styling guidlines have mandated that instead of using
child specific init functions (E.G. SysBusDeviceClass::init), all
devices should use DeviceClass::realize or Object::init. I'm wondering
if the same policy should be applied to resets. The main offender is
CPUClass::reset. Since TYPE_CPU is now a child of TYPE_DEVICE, can we
abandon cpu reset and move it up to the device level? Ditto for any
other device abstractions that define their own reset function.

Regards,
Peter
