when appropriate, of course. If the config for a domain specifies boot

<boot dev='hd'/>
<boot dev='network'/>

Then the first disk device in the config will have ",bootindex=1"
appended to its qemu commandline -device options, and the first (and
*only* the first) network interface device will get ",bootindex=2".
However, if the first network interface device is a "hostdev" device
(an SRIOV Virtual Function (VF) being assigned to the domain with
vfio), then the bootindex option will *not* be appended. This happens
because the bootindex=n option corresponding to the order of "<boot
dev='network'/>" is added to the -device for the first network device
when network device commandline args are constructed, but if it's a
hostdev network device, its commandline arg is instead constructed in
the loop for hostdevs.
This patch fixes that omission by noticing (in bootHostdevNet) if the
first network device was a hostdev, and if so passing on the proper
bootindex to the commandline generator for hostdev devices - the
result is that ",bootindex=2" will be properly appended to the first
"network" device in the config even if it is really a hostdev
(including if it is assigned from a libvirt network pool). (note that
this is only the case if there is no <bootmenu enabled='yes'/> element
in the config ("-boot menu-on" in qemu) , since the two are mutually
exclusive - when the bootmenu is enabled, the individual per-device
bootindex options can't be used by qemu, and we revert to using "-boot
order=xyz" instead).
If a greater level of control over boot order is desired (e.g., more
than one network device should be tried, or a network device other
than the first one encountered in the config), then <boot
dev='network'/> in the <os> element should not be used; instead, the
individual device elements in the config should be given a "<boot
order='n'/>
