What are the advantages you see in the extra layers of indirection of

current_machine might be NULL where as qdev_get_machine() always returns
/machine object.


In this case, I don't want /machine to be created as a generic
container object by accident because it must be a MachineState object.
If /machine is not initialized yet, that code should abort instead of
trying to continue.

But that can be solved by simply ensuring qdev_get_machine() is a
TYPE_MACHINE object (see below).





I'd prefer to use something that is guaranteed to be MachineState*,
qdev_get_machine() returns Object*. I am even considering using
current_machine-mem_merge and current_machine-dump_guest_core directly
instead of object_property_get_bool(). That would mean extra

Check difference 'git grep qdev_get_machine' vs 'git grep current_machine'.
I was under impression that policy was trying no to use globals unless one has 
to,

I will send a new version using:

   MachineState *machine = MACHINE(qdev_get_machine());
   backend-merge = machine_mem_merge(machine);
   backend-dump = machine_dump_guest_core(machine);

Then we have no global variable, type safety, and no direct access to
struct fields.

+1
I am considering retiring curent_machine global variable for 2.5.

Thanks,
Marcel
