Virt machine in qemu since v2.3.0 has PCI generic host controller, and can use
PCI devices. This provides performance improvement as well as vhost-net with
irqfd support for virtio-net. However libvirt currently does not allow ARM virt
machine to have PCI devices. This patchset adds the necessary support.
Changes since v3:
- Capability is based not on qemu version but on support of "gpex-pcihost"
device by qemu
- Added a workaround, allowing to pass "make check". The problem is that
test suite does not build capabilities cache. Unfortunately this means
that correct unit-test for the new functionality currently cannot be
written. Test suite framework needs to be improved.
Changes since v2:
Complete rework, use different approach
- Correctly model PCI Express bus on the machine. It is now possible to
explicitly specify <address-type='pci'> with attributes. This allows to
attach not only virtio, but any other PCI device to the model.
- Default is not changed and still mmio, for backwards compatibility with
existing installations. PCI bus has to be explicitly specified.
- Check for the capability in correct place, in v2 it actually did not work
Changes since v1:
- Added capability based on qemu version number
- Recognize also "virt-" prefix

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH v4 1/3] Introduce QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_GPEX
This capability specifies that qemu can implement generic PCI host
controller. It is often used for virtual environments, including ARM.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH v4 2/3] Add PCI-Express root to ARM virt machine
Here we assume that if qemu supports generic PCI host controller,
it is a part of virt machine and can be used for adding PCI devices.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH v4 3/3] Build correct command line for PCI NICs on ARM
Legacy -net option works correctly only with embedded device models, which
do not require any bus specification. Therefore, we should use -device for
PCI hardware
