Daniel, Can you tell me if you are (or are willing or planning to) going to implement structure Type 9 of the SMBIOS specification? Specifically, this provides a mapping from the "system slots" (in the chassis) to the PCI devices in the system (as an example), especially where network is concerned (but not limited to that). We are investigating generic solutions for mapping network devices presented by Linux through to the physical devices themselves. So for example, network device eth0 is replaced by eth-slot0-<etc> or lom0, or whatever. I know virt doesn't have a physical slot, but the ordering of devices does matter very much. Let me know your plans. I am still catching up from LPC last week, so I just skimmed libvirt list. I have a plan to read over your patches soon.
