I already tried to convert malta / gt64xxx to qdev. While simple
devices are easily converted, I'm still struggling with gt64xxx.

There is some qdev documentation for end users (command line
parameters), but is there qdev documentation for developers, too?
If not, adding a qdev chapter to qemu-tech.texi (preferred), writing a
qdev wiki page, code templates (for systems / buses / bus controllers /
bus devices) or some other form of documentation would be a good start
for release 0.15 (imho).
