Gerd Hoffmann ee6847d19b qdev: rework device properties.
This patch is a major overhaul of the device properties.  The properties
are saved directly in the device state struct now, the linked list of
property values is gone.

Advantages:
  * We don't have to maintain the list with the property values.
  * The value in the property list and the value actually used by
    the device can't go out of sync any more (used to happen for
    the pci.devfn == -1 case) because there is only one place where
    the value is stored.
  * A record describing the property is required now, you can't set
    random properties any more.

There are bus-specific and device-specific properties.  The former
should be used for properties common to all bus drivers.  Typical
use case is bus addressing, i.e. pci.devfn and i2c.address.

Properties have a PropertyInfo struct attached with name, size and
function pointers to parse and print properties.  A few common property
types have PropertyInfos defined in qdev-properties.c.  Drivers are free
to implement their own very special property parsers if needed.

Properties can have default values.  If unset they are zero-filled.

Avi Kivity 1eed09cb4a Remove io_index argument from cpu_register_io_memory()
The parameter is always zero except when registering the three internal
io regions (ROM, unassigned, notdirty).  Remove the parameter to reduce
the API's power, thus facilitating future change.

Paul Brook 1431b6a17e Record device property types
Record device property types, and provide a list of properties at device
registration time.

Add a "device" property type that holds a reference to annother device.
