Respin of Peter's v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20241121192202.4155849-1-peterx@redhat.com/

'The series is about container_get() and its removal.'
(See v2's cover).

Since v2:
- Create fake machine container for user emulation to avoid:

  $ ./qemu-x86_64 /bin/echo foo
  qemu-x86_64: ../../hw/core/qdev.c:825: qdev_get_machine: Assertion `dev' failed.
  Aborted (core dumped)

Peter Xu (6):
  qdev: Make qdev_get_machine() not use container_get()
  qdev: Add machine_get_container()
  qdev: Use machine_get_container()
  qom: Add object_get_container()
  qom: Use object_get_container()
  qom: Remove container_get()

Philippe Mathieu-Daudé (4):
  qdev: Expose qemu_create_machine()
  qdev: Implement qemu_create_machine() for user emulation
  qdev: Call qemu_create_machine() on user emulation
  qdev: Inline machine_containers[] in qemu_create_machine_containers()

For these four, all look fine to me, feel free to take:

Acked-by: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>

Said that, still one comment: maybe we don't need to make the function
qemu_create_machine() to be an user+system API?  Instead we could have
user_ss defines qemu_create_fake_machine() and invoke it iff USER_ONLY, the
same as what patch 3 does.  Then we can drop patch 1, because exporting
system's qemu_create_machine() isn't required, IIUC.

We could add some comment above USER_ONLY's qemu_create_[fake_]machine() on
why the fake machine is created (qdev_realize() of cpu devices relies on
machine object, etc.).  It might still be helpful hint so that we know it
can be dropped if qdev_realize() doesn't need to rely on machine one day.

Thanks,

Good idea (not easy because -- again -- CONFIG_USER_ONLY isn't defined).
