The ownership rules of some QOM and qdev functions are not very
clear.  Some of the rules are not trivial because they depend
on other arguments or flags specified when a property was
created.

This is an attempt to clarify the existing ownership rules of
those functions to avoid confusion in the future.

Eduardo Habkost (3):
  qom: Document reference count ownership rules
  qdev: Document ownership rules of qbus_create*()
  pci: Document ownership rules of pci_root_bus_new*()
