Re: [PATCH v2 5/9] qemu: Deny all but VFIO PCI backends in hostdev prepare phase

We used to support KVM and VFIO style of PCI assignment. The former was dropped in v5.7.0-rc1~103 and thus we only support VFIO. All other backends lead to an error (see qemuBuildPCIHostdevDevProps(), or qemuBuildPCIHostdevDevStr() as it used to be called in the era of aforementioned commit). Might as well report the error in prepare phase and save hassle of proceeding with device preparation (e.g. in case of hotplug overriding the device's driver, setting seclabels, etc.).
