Yeah, it is a bit questionable to have this duplication. I already saved
a fair bit with the first patch introducing the shared user_createable_new.
I was a little reluctant to move this 'object_create' method into the
qom/ code though, since I hate the idea of the legacy 'QemuOpts' data
anywhere near those nice new APIs. I guess I could perhaps just keep the
qemu_opts_to_qdict() call in the caller.
Regards,
Daniel
