No reason for vmcoreinfo to be based on QDev, since it
doesn't use any QDev API. Demote to plain Object.
Since we can only register one type, introduce a new
one for object: 'vmcore-info' (dash separator), keeping
'vmcoreinfo' device during the deprecation period.

Yeah, I added the _DEVICE suffix in preparation of the
plain object implementation.

Is there a strong motivation behind this? just replacing -device with
-object doesn't really give anything, does it?
Also I'd rather keep the name "vmcoreinfo" since that's how it used to
be, and also the name used by the kernel ELF etc.
No need to modify VMCoreInfoState since DeviceState

No. (Daniel mentioned the same on the cover letter:
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/2ae4799b-f78d-4fde-becb-9ee7f767e8f1@l...)
Sorry for wasting review cycles.
Also I'd rather keep the name "vmcoreinfo" since
that's how it used to

create devices that are visible to the guest, and -object as being
for dealing with host backends.
vmcoreinfo is quite an unusal device, in that if only exists as a
fwcfg field, but that's an internal impl detail from a user's POV,
and it is still a guest visible device type.
So while it may not leverage QDev API, I still feel it is more of
a fit for -device, than -object. Is there any functional benefit
to moving it to -object, that outweighs the disruption ?
With regards,

[1] I say "short term", because overall I'm of the opinion that
-device, -machine, -cpu, -chardev, etc should not exist, and
-object ought to be made capable of instantiating any type of
object whatever subclass it might be. I doubt that will change
any time in the forseeable future though, so it is more of a
hypothetical point.

Hmm.

No.
Patches 1-5 are still useful cleanups although.
