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.

147ebe6ddf conf: aggregate multiple pcie-root-ports onto a single slot
Set the VIR_PCI_CONNECT_AGGREGATE_SLOT flag for pcie-root-ports so
that they will be assigned to all the functions on a slot.

Some qemu test case outputs had to be adjusted due to the
pcie-root-ports now being put on multiple functions.

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.

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.

bd23695055 qemu: Always enable GIC on ARM virt machines
GIC is always available to ARM virt machines, and the domain XML should
reflect this fact.

Clarify the point of some of the test cases by renaming them. Add more
xml2xml tests.
