If not, is there a way with one of the virt command line tools to

the XML (with the PCI addresses specified) so that I can process that XML

able to get that detailed XML file is to 1) virt-install and let the VM
begin the boot process and then do a 2) virsh dumpxml and then 3) virsh
destroy/undefine that VM, 4) modify the XML and then 5) virsh create
./modified.xml. Is there a cleaner way to do this?
It won't do everything you want, but check out virt-install --print-step
--dry-run. This should at least allow you to get at the XML for the
intermediate steps and remove the brittleness of defining, destroying,
undefining the VM.
