We are trying to understand what means "a qdev is realized".
One explanation was "the device is guest visible"; however
many devices are realized before being mapped, thus are not
"guest visible". Some devices map / wire their IRQs before
being realized (such ISA devices). There is a need for devices
to be "automatically" mapped/wired (see [2]) such CLI-created
devices, but this apply generically to dynamic machines.
Currently the device creation steps are expected to roughly be:
(external use) (QDev core) (Device Impl)

<----------------------------------- ----
"realized" / "guest visible"
+-----------------+
| Explicit wiring:|
| IRQs |
| I/O / Mem |
| ClkOut |
+-----------------+ RESET enter
--------------------------------->
+----------------------+
| Reset default values |
+----------------------+
But as mentioned, various devices "wire" parts before they exit
the "realize" step.
In order to clarify, I'm trying to enforce what can be done
*before* and *after* realization.
*after* a device is expected to be stable (no more configurable)
and fully usable.
To be able to use internal/auto wiring (such ISA devices) and
keep the current external/explicit wiring, I propose to add an
extra "internal wiring" step, happening after the REALIZE step
as:
(external use) (QDev core) (Device Impl)

"guest visible"
--------------------------------->

+----------------------+
The "realized" point is not changed. "guest visible" concept only
occurs *after* wiring, just before the reset phase.
This change introduces the DeviceClass::wire handler within qdev
core realization code.
