Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 28/35] kvm: x86: Introduce kvmclock device to save/restore its state

  Hi,

Actually, there is already a channel to pass pointers to qdev devices:
the pointer property hack. I'm not sure we should contribute to its user
base or take the chance for a cleanup, but we are not alone with this
requirement. Point below remains valid, though.

It is considered bad/hackish style as you can't create that kind of devices using the -device command line switch (or from a machine description config file some day in the future). So we should not add more uses of this, especially not in patches which are supposed to cleanup things ;)

cheers,
  Gerd
