I really like the simplicity of the machine code and that the ICH9 southbridge 
becomes a proper device rather than being scattered around in machine code. 
I've made some reviews in form of a branch: 
https://github.com/shentok/qemu/commits/philmd/ich9_qom-v2/

Would be nice if the pattern could then also be applied to the VIA 
southbridges, otherwise this could break my via-apollo-pro-133t branch:
