[PATCH 00/15] Replace current_machine by qdev_get_machine()

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Blurb from previous question [1]:

  "hw/boards.h" declare current_machine, and vl.c defines it:

    current_machine = 
MACHINE(object_new_with_class(OBJECT_CLASS(machine_class)));
    object_property_add_child(object_get_root(), "machine",
                              OBJECT(current_machine), &error_abort);

  The bigger user of 'current_machine' is the accel/KVM code.

  Recently in a0628599f..cc7d44c2e0 "Replace global smp variables
  with machine smp properties" we started to use MACHINE(qdev_get_machine()).
  Following a0628599f..cc7d44c2e0, a5e0b33119 use 'current_machine' again.

  qdev_get_machine() resolves the machine in the QOM composition tree.

Let's remove the global current_machine.

I am still confused by this comment:

  /* qdev_get_machine() can return something that's not TYPE_MACHINE
   * if this is one of the user-only emulators; in that case there's
   * no need to check the ignore_memory_transaction_failures board flag.
