This is cool; more qdev documentation is really useful.
One point I'd like clarification on is when you need to invent
a new bus type. Sometimes it's pretty obvious because there's
a real hardware bus type there (PCI, SCSI) that you're modelling.
It's

As rarely as possible, but as often as necessary? :P

That's true, but the only way to plug in those device models would be with C
code. You cannot just play with -device to reconfigure them.
I think the C source level reuse is more important and more useful
than plugging stuff around with -device, bec
