There are separate Detach functions for PCI, USB, SCSI, Vhost, and
Mediated hostdevs, but the functions are all 100% the same code,
except that the PCI function checks for the guest side of the device
being a PCI Multifunction device, while the other 4 check that the
device's alias != NULL.

The check for multifunction PCI devices should be done for *all*
devices that are connected to the PCI bus in the guest, not just PCI
hostdevs, and qemuIsMultiFunctionDevice() conveniently returns false
if the queried device doesn't connect with PCI, so it is safe to make
this check for all hostdev devices. (It also needs to be done for many
other device types, but that will be addressed in a future patch).

Likewise, since all hostdevs are detached by calling
qemuDomainDeleteDevice(), which requires the device's alias, checking
for a valid alias is a reasonable thing for PCI hostdevs too (NB:
you'd think that we could rely on every device having a valid alias,
but unfortunately when you run virsh qemu-attach on a qemu process
We also need to do something about qemu-attach ...


In the just-now-invented-by-me "Urban Programmers Dictionary", "We also need" is defined as "I volunteer". :-)
