virtio-pci is the way forward for aarch64 guests: it's faster
and less alien to people coming from other architectures.
Now that guest support is finally getting there, we'd like to
start using it by default instead of virtio-mmio.
Users and applications can already opt-in by explicitly using
<address type='pci'/>
inside the relevant elements, but that's kind of cumbersome and
requires all users and management applications to adapt, which
we'd really like to avoid.
What we can do instead is use virtio-mmio only if the guest
already has at least one virtio-mmio device, and use virtio-pci
in all other situations.
That means existing virtio-mmio guests will keep using the old
addressing scheme, and new guests will automatically be created
using virtio-pci instead. Users can still override the default
in either direction.

RFC: still needs polish (documentation, test cases) before it
can be considered for merging, plus it builds on top of changes
that haven't made it into master yet.
Changes from v1:
* use virDomainDeviceInfoIterate(), as suggested by Martin
and Laine, which results in cleaner and more robust code

(For some reason I had believed that info could be NULL, and had written
one of my own callback functions accordingly, but I doublechecked the
function that calls this callback and verified that info is always valid.)
A small optimization (that you may not want to make, since you're only
doing this once) would be to return -1 when type == MMIO - this causes
the iterate to end early. The function would then be less generally
useful, though (and you would probably want to rename it accordingly,
since it would only ever return 0 or 1).
Another optimization would be to force it to return count == 0 as soon
as it encountered any pci address (since the two are mutually exclusive
- unless we hav allowed manually mixing them in the past, or maybe it
has happened "accidentally" due to libvirt auto-adding a
dmi-to-pci-bridge in some older version of libvirt.). If you made such
an optimization, you would again probably want the function named
differently though - maybe if could be called
qemuDomainDetermineDefaultAddressType(), and would return a
VIR_DOMAIN_DEVICE_ADDRESS_TYPE_*
All that is purely speculative though - what you have here works just
fine and takes an insignificant time to execute relative to everything
else that has to happen :-)

I guess I can agree with keeping this test case as is. It would be nice
to have another test that used the identical input file (via symlink)
but had the extra flags defined (but it's not needed in this patch). Too
bad I didn't think of that as a test case for the patches that changed
the behavior for virtio devices (and also that I don't feel like adding
it now :-P)
