+ * @name - the name of the property.  This can contain any character except for
+ *         a forward slash.  In general, you should use hyphens '-' instead of

+ *
+ * @type - the type name of the property.  This namespace is pretty loosely
+ *         defined.  Sub namespaces are constructed by using a prefix and then
+ *         to angle brackets.  For instance, the type 'virtio-net-pci' in the
+ *         'link' namespace would be 'link<virtio-net-pci>'.
+ *
+ * @get - the getter to be called to read a property.  If this is NULL, then
+ *        the property cannot be read.
+ *
+ * @set - the setter to be called to write a property.  If this is NULL,
+ *        then the property cannot be written.
+ *
+ * @release - called when the property is removed from the device.  This is
+ *            meant to allow a property to free its opaque upon device
+ *            destruction.  This may be NULL.
+ *
+ * @opaque - an opaque pointer to pass to the callbacks for the property
+ *
+ * @errp - returns an error if this function fails
