Expose all legacy properties through the new QOM property mechanism.  The qdev
property types are exposed through the 'legacy<>' namespace.  They are always
visited as strings since they do their own string parsing.

I noticed something subtle about Error** here.  Your code is correct but
I (incorrectly) wanted to eliminate local_err and use errp directly:

if (prop->info->parse) {
    char *ptr = NULL;

    visit_type_str(v, &ptr, name, errp);
    if (!error_is_set(errp)) {
        int ret;
	ret = prop->info->parse(dev, prop, ptr);
	if (ret != 0) {
	    error_set(errp, QERR_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE,
	              name, prop->info->name);
	}
	g_free(ptr);
    }
} else {
...

Turns out you cannot do this because error_is_set(errp) will be false if
the caller passed in a NULL errp.  That means we wouldn't detect the
error from visit_type_str()!

So it's not okay to depend on the caller's errp.  We always need to
juggle around a local_err with propagation :(.

Just wanted to share.

Yes, you are correct.  You see this idiom a lot in QAPI an also in glib code 
that uses GError.

I think you can look at prop->info->type here and do something more
clever at least for the bool + integer properties.

Not directly related to this patch, but looking for the first time at
visitor code, visitors are clearly underdocumented.

So a string output visitor (this is what it's called, right?) takes a
buffer on the stack that the visitor must not free...

...but a string input visitor creates a copy that must be freed.

Kind of surprising behaviour, and qapi-visit-core.h doesn't document it.

Hrm, okay, I can fix that.  Thanks for pointing that out.

That might get a little tough because I want legacy<> types to be handled as 
strings.  I guess we could promote bool/int to non-legacy types.

Yes.  I need to spend time documenting it.

An output visitor does not take ownership of the string pointer.  An input 
visitor transfers ownership of the returned string to the caller.

The semantics suck.  See my other comments about changing this behavior.  I 
think I'm convinced we need to change the visitor interface here.

Yes, I'll fix that (the lack of docs).

Indeed.  For chardev and drive properties which will be some kind of
link<..> in the new world (correct?) it probably makes sense to keep
them as legacy<...>.

While being at it:  bus properties might need some more thinking here
too.  Partly they are used for physical addressing, so they will be
replaced by link<...> too I guess?  Some of them have special parsing
and will end up in legacy<...> anyway.  Some are plain integers though
(hda for example) ...

cheers,
  Gerd
