I was specifically tasked with the qdev split by Anthony, so unless
major obstacles arise I will send a PULL until Thursday.

What I am still unsure about is whether it makes sense to actually apply
the final CPU-as-device change for v1.3 since that exposes the device
name(s) as public "ABI", cf. below. A safety option would be no_user = 1
to avoid users messing with untested use cases at this time.

If I get through review quickly enough and RFC seems sane and I get a
PATCH, I might include it in the pull. To me, classes are prerequisites
to exposing CPU-as-a-device because otherwise the user specifies the
base class that we want to make abstract (which will then break
backwards compatibility) and has no API to set it to something useful.
Once applied, we would still have half a month for testing.

Won't make v1.3 due to timing constraints. There are also still
unresolved review comments related to property naming IIRC.
