The macro DO_UPCAST() is incorrectly named: it converts from a parent class to a derived class (which is a downcast). Better, and more consistent with some of the other qapi visitors, is to use the container_of() macro through a to_FOO() helper. Names like 'to_ov()' may be a bit short, but for a static helper it doesn't hurt too much, and matches existing practice in files like qmp-input-visitor.c. Our current definition of container_of() is weaker than DO_UPCAST(), in that it does not require the derived class to have Visitor as its first member, but this does not hurt our usage patterns in qapi visitors.
