My crystal ball tells me the PC MMIO patch will come handy soon (to be adapted for P10 and groups). And the remote routing looks pretty interesting too. I am glad ! I think the first 2 patches are a good addition. They remove a qdev_get_machine() call which is ugly. P10 has the same kind of shortcut. C.
