There has been some progress lately in enabling virtio-pci on

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.

Yeah. Sorry my simple patches from yesterday didn't get you as far as you needed to go.

  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.

That should have been in my patch yesterday, but too late for that now! Thanks for fixing it.

You're assuming that the only virt* machinetypes will be aarch64, which may be reasonable now, but not in the future (periodically someone from qemu will mention the idea of a "virt" machinetype for x86, which is legacy-free and accepts only virtio devices). Wouldn't a more specific comparison be better here (and in the other places in this patch)?

              !virDomainDefAddController(def, VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_TYPE_PCI, 1,
                                         VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_MODEL_DMI_TO_PCI_BRIDGE))
              goto cleanup;

Okay, so pcie-root is still always "there", which isn't a problem since the presence of pcie-root in the config doesn't actually change anything in the qemu commandline or resulting virtual machine (it's a default device in qemu that can't be removed).

You could save some time by just putting the whole thing from "for (i = 0; i < addrs->nbuses; i++)" down to that "goto cleanup" inside an "if (!qemuDomainMachineIsVirt(def)) { ... }". (maybe replacing qemuDomainMachineIsVirt() with something more specific, as noted above).

As we've discussed in IRC, eventually there should be a way to disable this for *every* platform, not just aarch64/virt. Possibly an "openPCISlots" attribute somewhere in the domain that tells how many slots should be left open for hotplug (with default being 1 for x86/440fx, and up for discussion on other platforms).

This surprised me for a minute, since you're now explicitly adding pcie-root even though it's still implicitly added for you (and, for example, qemuxml2argvtest completes successfully without it). But I guess it doesn't hurt anything to have it in the file, as it makes it obvious that the dmi-to-pci-bridge isn't just being added on top of nothing.

(Hopefully all of this will soon be a thing of the past - for *all* arches/machinetypes if you put in a device with <address type='pci'/> (or a device that can only be connected via PCI), then all the necessary pci controllers should just magically appear, otherwise not).

ACK.
