That's definitely a bug, but I don't think this is the right fix.
XICS was put on sysbus back when I thought that was where you put any
"system" devices that didn't belong on a more specific bus. I've
since discovered that's not the case, and - particularly since xics
doesn't expose any mmio - it shouldn't be a sysbus device at all.
I've instead made a patch changing it to a direct child of
TYPE_DEVICE. Since the device shouldn't ever be command line
instantiated, and it has no migratable state I believe this should be
a safe change.
This is in ppc-for-2.9, tentatively; please review:

Subject: [PATCH] xics: XICS should not be a SysBusDevice
Currently xics - the component of the IBM POWER interrupt controller
representing the overall interrupt fabric / architecture is represented as
a descedent of SysBusDevice. However, this is not really correct - the
xics presents nothing in MMIO space so it should be an "unattached" device
in the current QOM model.
Since this device will always be created by the machine type, not created
specifically from the command line, and because it has no migrated state
it should be safe to move it around the device composition tree.
Therefore this patch changes it to a descendent of TYPE_DEVICE, and makes
it an unattached device.
