qemu: Support virtio-mmio transport for virtio on ARM
Starting with qemu 1.6, the qemu-system-arm vexpress-a9 model has a hardcoded virtio-mmio transport which enables attaching all virtio devices. On the command line, we have to use virtio-XXX-device rather than virtio-XXX-pci, thankfully s390 already set the precedent here so it's fairly straight forward. At the XML level, this adds a new device address type virtio-mmio. The controller and addressing don't have any subelements at the moment because we they aren't needed for this usecase, but could be added later if needed. Add a test case for an ARM guest with one of every virtio device enabled.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
