That is correct - it'll allow any of the device info at the parsing
stage. Some hypervisors may support PCI based serial, parallel, devices
and input devices. Ideally, we should make all the hypervisor drivers
check for & reject devices with addressing schemes they don't support
but that's alot of work.

We might need to thing about exposing a way for hypervisor drivers to
register fine grained parser features. So a HV driver could indicate
that it only supports devices X, Y & Z with addressing schemes A & B.
