Ordinary device models have a single state struct. The first member is

Simple enough.
I think Evgeny's virtio mmio patches change all this. In the recent
virtio-pci thread we were discussing how the virtio transport (mmio,
pci) and virtio devices (net, blk, etc) fit together. The email
thread is "Virtio-pci issues" from Evgeny Voevodin
<e.voevo...@samsung.com>.
Thanks for the pointer.
It's been a couple of weeks. Evgeny, are you still pursuing this?
Yes, but in the past time we have a lot of work in Tizen project, so I
delayed this work a bit. If anybody wants I can send latest patches to
let you continue the work or maybe improve since I'm not sure if I'll
have a time to continue until 15'th of june (but I'll try :). Actually
my work is based on Peter's virtio-mmio patch set
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-11/msg01870.html, so
maybe it's worth
adding him in the list <peter.mayd...@linaro.org>.
It probably makes sense to first merge Evgeny's virtio refactoring and
then ensure it's nicely mapped to QOM.
Yes, no good attempting to do too much in one series. Nevertheless,
having a sufficiently developed idea of the final state in mind helps.
