Not related to your question:

The Malta model is an old one in QEMU, as such it uses the condensed
format where all the Malta specific devices are self-contained in the
same file. This organization has Pro/Cons.

New MIPS boards where added and instead of reuse components, they were
duplicated few times, so now it is harder to maintain.

Back to your question:

All the South Bridge and 'below' devices are shared with the x86 PC
machine, except:

- FDC37M81X Super I/O: maintained by 'PC Chipset'
- PIIX4 South Bridge: maintained by 'PC' but this might change
  as Michael S. Tsirkin is mostly interested in the PIIX3.
  I have a WIP painful series related to PIIX cleanup.

The North Bridge differs and is Malta specific, so you can add it in
this section:

- hw/mips/gt64xxx_pci.c

I'll sort the PIIX some day ;)

Regards,

Phil.
