Now the a dmi-to-pci-bridge is automatically added just as it's needed
(when a pci-bridge is being added), we no longer have any need to
force-add one to every single Q35 domain.
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.
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.
We use the PreFormat callback for this. Many test cases need to be extended
to pass in proper qemuCaps flags so AssignAddresses doesn't throw errors.
One test case (pcie-root-port-too-many) is dropped, since it was meant
only for checking an error condition in qemuxml2argv, and one we add in
AssignAddresses it errors here too.
Long term I think AssignAddresses should be handled in qemu's PostParse
callback, but that's not entirely straightforward. Handling it here
means we can get the test suite churn over with.
The current code was a little bit odd. At first we've removed all
possible implicit input devices from domain definition to add them later
back if there was any graphics device defined while parsing XML
description. That's not all, while formating domain definition to XML
description we at first ignore any input devices with bus different to
USB and VIRTIO and few lines later we add implicit input devices to XML.
This seems to me as a lot of code for nothing. This patch may look
to be more complicated than original approach, but this is a preferred
way to modify/add driver specific stuff only in those drivers and not
deal with them in common parsing/formating functions.
The update is to add those implicit input devices into config XML to
follow the real HW configuration visible by guest OS.
There was also inconsistence between our behavior and QEMU's in the way,
that in QEMU there is no way how to disable those implicit input devices
for x86 architecture and they are available always, even without graphics
device. This applies also to XEN hypervisor. VZ driver already does its
part by putting correct implicit devices into live XML.

This patch adds in special handling for a few devices that need to be
treated differently for q35 domains:
usb - there is no implicit/default usb controller for the q35
machinetype. This is done because normally the default usb controller
is added to a domain by just adding "-usb" to the qemu commandline,
and it's assumed that this will add a single piix3 usb1 controller at
slot 1 function 2. That's not what happens when the machinetype is
q35, though. Instead, adding -usb to the commandline adds 3 usb
(version 2) controllers to the domain at slot 0x1D.{1,2,7}. Rather
than having
<controller type='usb' index='0'/>
translate into 3 separate devices on the PCI bus, it's cleaner to not
automatically add a default usb device; one can always be added
explicitly if desired. Or we may decide that on q35 machines, 3 usb
controllers will be automatically added when none is given. But for
this initial commit, at least we aren't locking ourselves into
something we later won't want.
video - qemu always initializes the primary video device immediately
after any integrated devices for the machinetype. Unless instructed
otherwise (by using "-device vga..." instead of "-vga" which libvirt
uses in many cases to work around deficiencies and bugs in various
qemu versions) qemu will always pick the first unused slot. In the
case of the "pc" machinetype and its derivatives, this is always slot
2, but on q35 machinetypes, the first free slot is slot 1 (since the
q35's integrated peripheral devices are placed in other slots,
e.g. slot 0x1f). In order to make the PCI address of the video device
predictable, that slot (1 or 2, depending on machinetype) is reserved
even when no video device has been specified.
sata - a q35 machine always has a sata controller implicitly added at
slot 0x1F, function 2. There is no way to avoid this controller, so we
always add it. Note that the xml2xml tests for the pcie-root and q35
cases were changed to use DO_TEST_DIFFERENT() so that we can check for
the sata controller being automatically added. This is especially
important because we can't check for it in the xml2argv output (it has
no effect on that output since it's an implicit device).
ide - q35 has no ide controllers.
isa and smbus controllers - these two are always present in a q35 (at
slot 0x1F functions 0 and 3) but we have no way of modelling them in
our config. We do need to reserve those functions so that the user
doesn't attempt to put anything else there though. (note that the "pc"
machine type also has an ISA controller, which we also ignore).
This PCI controller, named "dmi-to-pci-bridge" in the libvirt config,
and implemented with qemu's "i82801b11-bridge" device, connects to a
PCI Express slot (e.g. one of the slots provided by the pcie-root
controller, aka "pcie.0" on the qemu commandline), and provides 31
*non-hot-pluggable* PCI (*not* PCIe) slots, numbered 1-31.
Any time a machine is defined which has a pcie-root controller
(i.e. any q35-based machinetype), libvirt will automatically add a
dmi-to-pci-bridge controller if one doesn't exist, and also add a
pci-bridge controller. The reasoning here is that any useful domain
will have either an immediate (startup time) or eventual (subsequent
hot-plug) need for a standard PCI slot; since the pcie-root controller
only provides PCIe slots, we need to connect a dmi-to-pci-bridge
controller to it in order to get a non-hot-plug PCI slot that we can
then use to connect a pci-bridge - the slots provided by the
pci-bridge will be both standard PCI and hot-pluggable.
Since pci-bridge devices themselves can not be hot-plugged into a
running system (although you can hot-plug other devices into a
pci-bridge's slots), any new pci-bridge controller that is added can
(and will) be plugged into the dmi-to-pci-bridge as long as it has
empty slots available.
This patch is also changing the qemuxml2xml-pcie test from a "DO_TEST"
to a "DO_DIFFERENT_TEST". This is so that the "before" xml can omit
the automatically added dmi-to-pci-bridge and pci-bridge devices, and
the "after" xml can include it - this way we are testing if libvirt is
properly adding these devices.
