Re: [PATCH v2 6/9] qemu_hotplug: Drop PCI backend check in qemuDomainAttachHostPCIDevice()

There is no way the qemuDomainAttachHostPCIDevice() function can be called over a hostdev with other PCI backend than VFIO. And

even if it were, then the check is written so poorly that it lets some types through (e.g. KVM) only to let qemuBuildPCIHostdevDevProps() called afterwards fail properly. Drop this check and rely on qemuDomainPrepareHostdevPCI() (and worst case scenario even qemuBuildPCIHostdevDevProps()) to report the proper error.
