I'll try it, and if changes isn't big, I'll merge into this patch.

s/qdev/parent_obj/ will affect APIC and IOAPIC patches make-ing them even
bigger and more difficult to review distracting from real changes.

it would be better to send follow-up patch, that does trivial QOM conversions
afterwards.

I'm not sure that making ICCDevice.qdev private would be good performance wise
since it would require using DEVICE() dynamic cast in apic_check_pic().

I'd like to keep this as is for now and put cleanup patch on TODO list for
1.6 to get rid of DO_UPCAST() macro in apic/ioapic files.
