Slightly later than anticipated (due to the early 1.1 release and some
fallout from the build system overhaul) everything that made it into
qom-next is now merged into qemu.git master.

The qom-next branch is therefore officially disbanded.
Any QOM patches should be based onto qemu.git master branch again.

Still open among the QOM-related series I had tracked are for example:
* Paolo's and my "realize" - pending semantics discussion
* Paolo's static properties generalization - depends on state in Object
* my QOM CPUState part 4 (field movements) - needs review apart from TLB
* Igor's x86 CPU APIC/reset refactoring - under review
* Juan's VMState series - how to attach VMSD to CPUClass/DeviceClass?
* Markus' floppy QOM'ification - initial RFC only

Thanks to everyone who supported this effort during the Freeze!

Regards,
Andreas
