The struct is allocated once with g_new0() but never free()'d. Fix the leakage
by adding an attribute to struct PPCE500MachineState which avoids the
allocation.

While at it you could remove these private markers...

...and drop the new line here so only the parent_obj is followed by a new 
line as was suggested as reccomended style.

or simply move the fields under the machine state struct to avoif
the struct boot_info which doesn't seem that necessary. Is it ?


Thanks,

Yes, this works. Good idea.

I'll merge struct boot_info below as Cédric suggested.

It's passed to CPU reset function via env->load_info. It could be possible 
to pass the whole machine state but it seems that's unneeded so this 
struct just contains what's needed for this. Other machines also have 
similar boot_info structs although they seem to be different and not 
common to all machines. Thus I don't think merging with machine state 
would be better than keeping is separate as this is more CPU related.

Other machines also have similar boot_info structs although they seem to be different and not common to all machines. Thus I don't think merging with machine state would be better than keeping is separate as this is more CPU related.

I agree that having a consistent style across machines is prefereable, so I'll keep struct boot_info. It also avoids conflicts with your TLB cleanup series.
