LGTM. Just a comment in patch 01.


After applying the whole series I tried to find the remaining references
of 'pci-assign'. This is what git grep returns:


Yes, the 'kvm-pci-assign' device was present in those QEMU versions so
it was listed in the replies.


$ git grep 'pci-assign'

And with 'configfd':

$ git grep 'configfd'
docs/news-2011.html.in:      qemu: simplify PCI configfd handling in monitor (Eric Blake),<br/>
src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.c:              "pci-configfd",
src/qemu/qemu_capabilities.h:    X_QEMU_CAPS_PCI_CONFIGFD, /* pci-assign.configfd */ tests/qemustatusxml2xmldata/migration-in-params-in.xml:    <flag name='pci-configfd'/> tests/qemustatusxml2xmldata/migration-out-params-in.xml:    <flag name='pci-configfd'/>



Do we still need X_QEMU_CAPS_PCI_CONFIGFD and X_QEMU_CAPS_PCI_BOOTINDEX
after this series?


We need to be capable of parsing the qemu capability flags produced by
older libvirt even though we aren't taking them into account.

When upgrading libvirt while a domain is running, or migrating to a host
with newer libvirt, rejecting the capability might break existing guests
even though they did not use that particular capability.

So we keep it around with an X- prefix and the corresponding string
representation unchanged and just quietly ignore it.
