I was okay with the xml naming - but I agree that if anyone else has

This patch was made in response to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738095
In short, qemu's default for the rombar setting (which makes the
firmware ROM of a PCI device visible/not on the guest) was previously
0 (not visible), but they recently changed the default to 1
(visible). Unfortunately, there are some PCI devices that fail in the
guest when rombar is 1, so the setting must be exposed in libvirt to
prevent a regression in behavior (it will still require explicitly
setting<rom bar='off'/> in the guest XML).
rombar is forced on/off by adding:
<rom bar='on|off'/>
inside a<hostdev> element that defines a PCI device. It is currently
ignored for all other types of devices.
Fine by me.
The doc section explain that behaviour is unclear if not set (i.e.
default to qemu's and that changed), so all fine IMHO
Okay, I made the last few changed Eric noted and pushed.
Thanks!
