I wasn't quite right about this -- turns out that machines can have a reset method, but it is a weird special case method MachineClass::reset that isn't like device reset. (We use it in a few machine types; if implemented, it is responsible for calling qemu_devices_reset() to kick off device reset. Probably MachineClass ought to implement TYPE_RESETTABLE_INTERFACE instead.) thanks -- PMM
