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.
This version is completely reworked and uses different approach.
Changes since v2:
- 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
