How do you imagine this to be implemented then? Per ObjectClass walk the
aliases list for aliases that resolve to the same type?

What about "host" presentation? My patch just put it into a third
segment, we can easily drop the \n line though.
See also Jan's patch for x86 adding a description for "host".

A related question is whether to expose the aliases via QMP. That should
be easier to implement, similar to how aliases are handled right now.

OK, becomes extern and typedef needs to go into header then.
