Move from the legacy SysBusDevice::init method to using DeviceState::realize.
Comment says DeviceState::realize but the code is using
PCIDevice::realize ?

I didn't realize pci devices had their own realize method:
what's the difference between it and plain old DeviceState::realize,

PCIDevice:realize handles PCI specific "realization" tasks:
* setup of the PCI configuration space
* PCI BARs configuration
* MSI initalization
*...

The PCIDevice's DeviceState::realize function named 'pci_qdev_realize'
calls PCIDevice:realize after it runs some generic initialization code.

It is possible we have this design so we would be able to move from
"qdev" to QOM.

Thanks,
Marcel

which they also have, since PCIDeviceClass inherits from DeviceClass ?
Cc'ing Michael and Marcel.
