Cheer up, there are only 300 callers of object_property_add_* (apart
from object_property_add_child which is generally not an issue).  You
could look at those instead. :)

Seriously, I think the problem with the comment is only that the reader
most likely doesn't care about instance_init() or props, as those are
QEMU implementation details.
