Generally I like these patches, but I'm curious about what your use
case is where you don't just create an entire a9mpcore. That qdev
object is intended to encapsulate the equivalent bit of hardware,
so if you need to create the subcomponents individually then either
your hardware is really odd or maybe we need to make the container
a little more flexible...

Appreciated -- I'm moving over to using Anthony's patches script
now and it can't cope with the unthreaded versions, so I have to
manually download them all from patchwork instead.
