Device parameters should get passed as properties. Would already work
today if we had any.

No problem with moving sysbus_create_simple to machine initialization,
though.

This would also require changing sysbus interfaces for the sake of KVM's
"abstraction". If this is the only way forward, I could look into this.

Still, I do not see any benefit for the affected code. You then either
need to "steal" a kvm_state reference from the first cpu or introduce a
marvelous interface like kvm_get_state() to make this work from outside
of the KVM core.
