This seems to answer my remark on 3/9, should've been squashed into that
one.

This is what I was referring to with breaking the encapsulation on 3/9:
When we have a PHB with embedded PCIDevice on its PCIBus, as
demonstrated with i440fx and prep_pci, then when doing object_delete()
on the whole thing I expect the main object's finalizer to call
object_finalize() on its embedded childs, forcing their uninit or an
assert if a programming error. Not just an unref that might or might not
finalize it.

If however finalize is called only at refcount 0 then who will unref the
self-created children? Finalize would never be called due to pending
references by its children...
