virtio-pci is the way forward for aarch64 guests: it's faster

Now that guest support is finally getting there, 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 kinda 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.

Sending this as an RFC for the time being because it clearly
needs some more polish, but I wanted to get the idea out
there sooner rather than later.


Makes sense for the non-user of this (or rather not-yet-user maybe).  So
I mention only few details inline.

It needs to be applied on top of Laine's PCI series[1].

It's super-easy to miss something here, moreover it's easy to forget
adding stuff here in the future.  You should either use
virDomainDeviceInfoIterate() or at least (not a fan of that) copy the
check from virDomainDeviceInfoIterateInternal() here, so that people are
forced to add new device types here.

I'm guessing you are checking for the pcie-root so that we're not adding
it for users that don't want any.  That way for us to actually use
virtio-pci by default you need to add that as well, which you haven't
mentioned in the commit message.  Not sure which one of those things was
intentional.
