Historically, QEMU started with only one X86 machine: the PC.
The 'hw/i386/pc.h' header was used to store all X86 and PC
declarations. Since we have now multiple machines based on the
X86 architecture, move the PC-specific declarations in a new
header.
We use 'internal' in the name to explicit this header is restricted
to the X86 architecture. Other architecture can not access it.

Maybe name it 'pc_machine.h'?

I forgot to describe here (and in the cover), what's follow after this
patch.

Patch #13 moves PCMachineClass to

If you ignore PCMachineState, "hw/i386/pc.h" now only contains 76 lines, and
it is easier to see what is PC machine specific, what is X86 specific, and
what is device generic (not X86 related at all):

- GSI is common to X86 (Paolo sent [3], [6])
- IOAPIC is common to X86
- i8259 is multiarch (Paolo [2])
- PCI_HOST definitions and pc_pci_hole64_start() are X86
- pc_machine_is_smm_enabled() is X86 (Paolo sent [5])
- hpet
- tsc (Paolo sent [3])
- 3 more functions

So we can move half of this file to "pc_internal.h" and the other to

One problem is the Q35 MCH north bridge which directly sets the PCI
PCMachineState->bus in q35_host_realize(). This seems a QOM violation and is
probably easily fixable.

Maybe I can apply Paolo's patches instead of this #12, move X86-generic
declarations to "hw/i386/x86.h", and directly git-move what's left of
"hw/i386/pc.h" to "pc_internal.h".

Yea that sounds a bit better.

OK, I'll wait for Paolo's next pull get in, then continue based on that, including Paolo's "x86: allow building without PC machine types" series.

(Thanks Paolo for picking most of this series!)
