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

Pavel Fedin (3): Introduce QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_GPEX Add PCI-Express root to ARM virt machine Build correct command line for PCI NICs on ARM
