I'm not sure I understand how init functions are called for derived
classes.  On one hand mm-serial.c calls its superclass init function,
on the other hand isa-bus.c:isa_qdev_init() calls an init function
that its child class must provide.  One is calling its parent, the
other is calling its child.  Is there a consistent way of doing this
and what did I miss :)?
