I updated the commit message to this:

    qom: Create system containers explicitly
    
    Always explicitly create QEMU system containers upfront.
    
    Root containers will be created when trying to fetch the root object the
    1st time.  They are:
    
      /objects
      /chardevs
      /backend
    
    Machine sub-containers will be created only until machine is being
    initialized.  They are:
    
      /machine/unattached
      /machine/peripheral
      /machine/peripheral-anon

Note that I also added "backend" per request from Dan, as of now.

True.. since that can be a separate question to answer, I avoided going too
far to dig into which binaries may use containers, which may not.

Thanks,
