426dc5eb28 qemu: command: support -chardev for platform devices
Some qemu arch/machine types have built in platform devices that
are always implicitly available. For platform serial devices, the
current code assumes that only old style -serial config can be
used for these devices.

Apparently though since -chardev was introduced, we can use -chardev
in these cases, like this:

  -chardev pty,id=foo
  -serial chardev:foo

Since -chardev enables all sorts of modern features, use this method
for platform devices.

56540950e7 qemu: command: always use -chardev for monitor config
AFAIK there aren't any cases where we will/should hit the old code
path for our supported qemu versions, so drop the old code.

Massive test suite churn follows

396ca36cb0 qemu: Enforce ACPI, UEFI requirements
Depending on the architecture, requirements for ACPI and UEFI can
be different; more specifically, while on x86 UEFI requires ACPI,
on aarch64 it's the other way around.

Enforce these requirements when validating the domain, and make
the error message more accurate by mentioning that they're not
necessarily applicable to all architectures.

Several aarch64 test cases had to be tweaked because they would
have failed the validation step otherwise.

1d8454639f qemu: Use virtio-pci by default for mach-virt guests
virtio-pci is the way forward for aarch64 guests: it's faster
and less alien to people coming from other architectures.
Now that guest support is finally getting there (Fedora 24,
CentOS 7.3, Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian testing all support
virtio-pci out of the box), we'd like to start using it by
default instead of virtio-mmio.

Users and applications can already opt-in by explicitly using

  <address type='pci'/>

inside the relevant elements, but that's kind of cumbersome and
requires all users and management applications to adapt, which
we'd really like to avoid.

What we can do instead is use virtio-mmio only if the guest
already has at least one virtio-mmio device, and use virtio-pci
in all other situations.

That means existing virtio-mmio guests will keep using the old
addressing scheme, and new guests will automatically be created
using virtio-pci instead. Users can still override the default
in either direction.

Existing tests such as aarch64-aavmf-virtio-mmio and
aarch64-virtio-pci-default already cover all possible
scenarios, so no additions to the test suites are necessary.

dc5821d743 qemu: Don't use legacy USB for aarch64 mach-virt guests
The '-usb' option doesn't have any effect for aarch64 mach-virt
guests, so the fact that it's currently enabled by default is not
really causing any issue.

However, that might change in the future (although unlikely), and
having it as part of the QEMU command line can cause confusion to
someone looking through the process list.

Avoid it completely, like it's already happening for q35.

86a68bdb0c qemu: Permit PCI-free aarch64 mach-virt guests
There has been some progress lately in enabling virtio-pci on
aarch64 guests; however, guest OS support is still spotty at best,
so most guests are going to be using virtio-mmio instead.

Currently, mach-virt guests are closely modeled after q35 guests,
and that includes always adding a dmi-to-pci-bridge that's just
impossible to get rid of. While that's acceptable (if suboptimal)
for q35, where you will always need some kind of PCI device anyway,
mach-virt guests should be allowed to avoid it.

d5fb8f4564 qemu: don't add pci-bridge to Q35/arm domains unless it's needed
Until now, a Q35 domain (or arm/virt, or any other domain that has a
pcie-root bus) would always have a pci-bridge added, so that there
would be a hotpluggable standard PCI slot available to plug in any PCI
devices that might be added. This patch removes the explicit add,
instead relying on the pci-bridge being auto-added during PCI address
assignment (it will add a pci-bridge if there are no free slots).

This doesn't eliminate the dmi-to-pci-bridge controller that is
explicitly added whether or not a standard PCI slot is required (and
that is almost never used as anything other than a converter between
pcie.0's PCIe slots and standard PCI). That will be done separately.

0d668434f4 conf: allow use of slot 0 in a dmi-to-pci-bridge
When support for dmi-to-pci-bridge was added, it was assumed that,
just as with the pci-root bus, slot 0 was reserved. This is not the
case - it can be used to connect a device just like any other slot, so
remove the restriction and update the test cases that auto-assign an
address on a dmi-to-pci-bridge.

f06ca25d23 qemu: support virt-2.6 machine type on arm
Some places already check for "virt-" prefix as well as plain "virt".
virQEMUCapsHasPCIMultiBus did not, resulting in multiple PCI devices
having assigned the same unnumbered "pci" alias.

Add a test for the "virt-2.6" machine type which also omits the
<model type='virtio'/> in <interface>, to check if
qemuDomainDefaultNetModel works too.
