The reason for IDE is that it involved devices that are not
SysBusDevices (the IDE disk devices).  Having the same code work in two
ways, one qdevified and one not, is bad.

For simple SysBusDevice you're changing a crappy default to a less bad
one, but there's really little incentive to qdev/QOM-ification.
