[libvirt] [PATCH 00/15] support for pxb and pxb-pcie controllers

These two controllers are used to create a new root bus on a 440fx
(pxb) or q35 (pxb-pie) virtual machine. There may be other use cases,
but the main reason for me taking the time to support a separate root
bus is to have assigned devices be visible in the guest on a different
NUMA node, so that the guest can be aware of the locality of the
device wrt CPU and memory that are on different NUMA nodes - although
you aren't required to, you can add a <node>N</node> subelement to the
bus' <target> element to indicate which NUMA node it is on (it's up to
the management application to place devices on that bus that really
are on the given NUMA node in the host).

There are several differences between pxb and pxb-pcie, which are
detailed in the individual commit log messages, but in short:

1) pxb is for 440fx, pxb-pcie for q35 (they *might* work on other
arches/machinetypes that have a PCI or PCIe bus, but I haven't enabled
that)

2) pxb has an integrate d pci-bridge with 32 slots that are (should
be) hotplug-capable, while pxb-pcie supplies only a single slot, and
it will only accept a pcie-root-port (which will then accept a single
device, hotplug-capable) or a pcie-switch-upstream-port.

Along the way I encountered a few minor problems/ugliness that I took
care of in patches 01/15 - 09/15. pxb support is in 10-12, and
pxb-pcie is in 13-15

There is a bugzilla record associated with this:
