BTW, I would like to change /i440fx to /devices/i440fx, so that we will
have clean namespaces:

/block

/chardev
     ...
/clocks
     ...
/devices
     /peripheral
         ...                 # named devices created with -device
     /peripheral-anon
         /child[...]         # unnamed devices created with -device
     /default
         /child[...]         # created with qdev_create

I don't like that, I prefer /i440fx over /devices/i440fx. I don't mind
the other root-level nodes though.

Let's try Paolo's cleanup for now. I am worried about proliferation of things in the root hierarchy and the nice advantage of having /devices is that we can work towards making our build infrastructure roughly match our hierarchy.

Since 1.1 is unstable for QOM, we can always change it later.


For PC-style machines I'd expect board-level stuff like the CPUs to
appear directly under /. That would roughly correspond to the
OpenFirmware device tree then.

I think devices trees are a bad example that should not be emulated.
