Looking at 'info qtree' output it seems "pseries" is the only PPC
machine
type using "pci" (out of those I managed to run):
ppce500
bus: pci.0
mac99
bus: pci.0
g3beige
bus: pci.0
mpc8544ds
bus: pci.0
ref405ep
qemu-system-ppc64: Could not load PowerPC BIOS 'ppc405_rom.bin'
taihu
qemu-system-ppc64: Could not load PowerPC BIOS 'ppc405_rom.bin'
bamboo
bus: pci.0
prep
bus: pci.0
pseries

bus: pci

PowerPC platforms?
I think we need to check the def->os.machine string on PPC, since we only
probe a particular QEMU binary, not every machine type it supports.
