Well, yes and no. In a few places we have some properties which
are morally speaking configuration stuff, but which are runtime
settable. This happens because the property needs to be set after
the device is realized but before the machine is run, and we
don't have a concept of "settable only during the machine creation
phase", only of "settable only before realize". (I can't find an
example of this in the codebase offhand, but I definitely have one
in a patchset I'm working on -- the code which needs to
configure the property of the configured object is far removed
in both location in the codebase and point at which it runs
from the code which is doing the initialize-and-realize.)
