Well, until we've introduced Pins we're not there at all :-) Also a coherent infrastructure for defining and using more complicated interfaces than 'raise/lower' would be good, Pin is just the degenerate special case of that. That would let us get rid of the annoying pointer properties we're using for omap clocks, for instance. >> I haven't been particularly bitten by device init issues. > > You will be...

Yeah, but qdev has that already, so I wasn't feeling the lack of it under the old regime. -- PMM
