Using a non-pointer sPAPRRTCState introduces more changes. See below.
This is going a further than just removing the dependency on SysBus. 
To remove only the dependency on SysBus, we can keep a 'DeviceState *' 
under the machine and fix the code accordingly.  

Just tell me what you prefer. I don't mind. Although I think that 
QOM'ifying sPAPR is good thing. After RTC, there is only the NVRAM
object left to handle but I am not sure we can do much about it as 
this is a drive.

Well, yes. it's not fixing a bug.

Thanks,

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Also use an 'sPAPRRTCState' attribute under the sPAPR machine to hold
the RTC object. Overall, these changes remove an unnecessary and
implicit dependency on SysBus.

Ok.  I think non-pointer is probably better.  I don't mind if we
convert directly to that, or go via some pointery intermediate step -
just do whichever is easier.
