I think I left some comments on v1: Would it be possible to leave a
bus_initialize() function (without q ;)) in place that calls
object_initialize() plus the-artist-formerly-known-as-qbus_realize(),
shared between object_new() and object_initialize()? ->free was always
set afterwards. The issue I am trying to contain here is a surge of
*_init functions beyond class_init, instance_init, DeviceClass::init.
Sticking to the QOM naming of having *bus_initialize() and *bus_new()
would address that.

Maybe if we reorder the two patches, dropping the use of g_malloc0() first?

Currently care needs to be taken with the in-place bus initialization
functions to not apply PCI_BUS() etc. on the uninitialized variable.
Having a pci_bus_initialize(void *, ...) -> bus_initialize(void *, ...)
-> object_initialize(void *, ...) call chain would solve that.
