I forgot to describe here (and in the cover), what's follow after this 
patch.

Patch #13 moves PCMachineClass to

If you ignore PCMachineState, "hw/i386/pc.h" now only contains 76 lines, 
and it is easier to see what is PC machine specific, what is X86 
specific, and what is device generic (not X86 related at all):

- GSI is common to X86 (Paolo sent [3], [6])
- IOAPIC is common to X86
- i8259 is multiarch (Paolo [2])
- PCI_HOST definitions and pc_pci_hole64_start() are X86
- pc_machine_is_smm_enabled() is X86 (Paolo sent [5])
- hpet
- tsc (Paolo sent [3])
- 3 more functions

So we can move half of this file to "pc_internal.h" and the other to

One problem is the Q35 MCH north bridge which directly sets the PCI 
PCMachineState->bus in q35_host_realize(). This seems a QOM violation 
and is probably easily fixable.

Maybe I can apply Paolo's patches instead of this #12, move X86-generic 
declarations to "hw/i386/x86.h", and directly git-move what's left of 
"hw/i386/pc.h" to "pc_internal.h".
