DeviceState can be created as kid of DeviceState/CPUState, not neccesary
attached to bus. This will be helpful to simulate the real hardware
submodule which sits inside package.

This is only introduced in patch 2, no?

I don't like this.  The only additional functionality is "magic"
dispatching between qdev_create for buses and object_property_add_child
for devices.  This should be done with a method that is implemented in
both objects (e.g. an interface), not with type checks like this.

However, you're not even using the functionality, and designing APIs
without an effective need usually makes for bad APIs.

Instead, you can just move APIC creation in the CPU, and use
object_property_add_child there.

OK, I will move the creation in the CPU. But I think as part of qom,
DeviceState can have a DeviceState child, so there is need for wrapper
for the function.  Maybe just make the qdev_create_kid(Object*) ->
qdev_create_kid(DeviceState*) ?

You can just use object_property_add_child whenever you would use
qdev_create_kid.
