[libvirt] [PATCH 0/1] bhyve: Make LPC slot number configurable

[Ivan Mishonov]

The problem is that LPC is not defined as a device in the XML. Is there 
a device type we can use for the LPC slot configuration similarly to 
disk, NIC etc? I couldn't find one, but I'm not that familiar with the 
code so maybe I'm missing something

Regards,
Ivan
