    qdev: Keep global allocation counter per bus · 61de3676

    When we have 2 separate qdev devices that both create a qbus of the
    same type without specifying a bus name or device name, we end up
    with two buses of the same name, such as ide.0 on the Mac machines:
    
      dev: macio-ide, id ""
        bus: ide.0
          type IDE
      dev: macio-ide, id ""
        bus: ide.0
          type IDE
    
    If we now spawn a device that connects to a ide.0 the last created
    bus gets the device, with the first created bus inaccessible to the
    command line.
    
    After some discussion on IRC we concluded that the best quick fix way
    forward for this is to make automated bus-class type based allocation
    count a global counter. That's what this patch implements. With this
    we instead get
    
      dev: macio-ide, id ""
        bus: ide.1
          type IDE
      dev: macio-ide, id ""
        bus: ide.0
          type IDE
    
    on the example mentioned above.
    
    This also means that if you did -device ...,bus=ide.0 you got a device
    on the first bus (the last created one) before this patch and get that
    device on the second one (the first created one) now.  Breaks
    migration unless you change bus=ide.0 to bus=ide.1 on the destination.
    
    This is intended and makes the bus enumeration work as expected.
    
    As per review request follows a list of otherwise affected boards and
    the reasoning for the conclusion that they are ok:
    
       target      machine         bus id              times
       ------      -------         ------              -----
    
       aarch64     n800            i2c-bus.0           2
       aarch64     n810            i2c-bus.0           2
       arm         n800            i2c-bus.0           2
       arm         n810            i2c-bus.0           2
    
    -> Devices are only created explicitly on one of the two buses, using
       s->mpu->i2c[0], so no change to the guest.

       aarch64     vexpress-a9     virtio-mmio-bus.0   4
       aarch64     virt            virtio-mmio-bus.0   32
       arm         vexpress-a15    virtio-mmio-bus.0   4
       arm         vexpress-a9     virtio-mmio-bus.0   4
       arm         virt            virtio-mmio-bus.0   32
    
    -> Makes -device bus= work for all virtio-mmio buses.  Breaks
       migration.  Workaround for migration from old to new: specify
       virtio-mmio-bus.4 or .32 respectively rather than .0 on the
       destination.

    -> Makes -device bus= work for all IDE buses.  Breaks migration.
       Workaround for migration from old to new: specify ide.1 rather than
       ide.0 on the destination.
