Mark suggested:

  You may be able to simplify this further by removing the
  global legacy init functions fdctrl_init_sysbus() and
  sun4m_fdctrl_init(): from what I can see fdctrl_init_sysbus()
  is only used in hw/mips/jazz.c and sun4m_fdctrl_init() is only
  used in hw/sparc/sun4m.c so you might as well inline them or
  move the functions to the relevant files.

I did it and plan to send during 6.2. Sounds simpler than module.
You could easily rebase your series on top (or I can include your
patches while sending).
