My understanding was that the *_init() functions were legacy and 
shouldn't be used any more - at least I've started removing them and 
replacing them with the slighty more long-winded QOM versions in my 
working tree.

Or should I just leave them as they are copy the bits I need to a 
separate initialisation function?
