I've applied the change offered below. Thanks.

There are two unanswered questions:

1. You wrote that I should not use the memory_region_init_io() function. 
Should I use memory_region_init_ram() instead?

2. Is it possible to create a sysbus device using the "-device" command 
line argument? I vaguely recall that it is not possible to do it and 
that's the reason that I specifically add the device in the pc init.

Thanks,

    Gal.
