To, also include the operating system driver name.
$ virsh nodedev-dumpxml pci_8086_27d6
<device>
  <name>pci_8086_27d6</name>
  <parent>computer</parent>
  <driver>
    <name>pcieport-driver</name>
  </driver>
  <capability type='pci'>
    <domain>0</domain>
    <bus>0</bus>
    <slot>28</slot>
    <function>3</function>
    <product id='0x27d6'>82801G (ICH7 Family) PCI Express Port 4</product>
    <vendor id='0x8086'>Intel Corporation</vendor>
  </capability>
</device>
We're not defining any particular semantics for the driver name, it is
just a opaque string following rules of the OS in question.
Looks fine but let's wait after 0.6.4 release to commit,

   thanks !
