In SysBusDeviceClass etc. we use the specific object type, too.
Obviously my CPU is the first "new" QOM type, so we can go different
ways if we want to. As long as it's a CPU-specific mechanism, using the
specific type avoids some casts.
It will be easier to generalize later qdev code and not make special
case when
adding cpus.
I never heard anyone wanting to generalize reset so far. I don't think
it belongs into Object at least. Maybe DeviceState. Anthony? Paolo?
We can have a special object for this, let's call it ResetLine for
example, with methods ResetLine::connect, ResetLine::assert or something
like that. Different ResetLine objects could trigger reset of different
sets of subdevices, just like real hardware can have several reset types
(for example, STM32 has 3 different reset types).
