So, after you posted this, I discover the patch I sent the other day -
changing XICS away from a SysBusDevice breaks the postcopy migration
test on KVM.  I haven't had a chance to debug this yet, so for the
time being I've pulled my patch from ppc-for-2.9.  I've moved it into
a new 'xics-cleanup' branch.
