I tend to believe there is some problem with the IRQ routing information
provided to the BIOS or what the BIOS makes out of it. See how "info
pci" looks like on a "qemu-syste-x86_64 -device e1000 -device e1000" VM
after the BIOS is done:
[...]
Bus 0, device 3, function 0:
Ethernet controller: PCI device 8086:100e
IRQ 11.
BAR0: 32 bit memory at 0xf2020000 [0xf203ffff].
BAR1: I/O at 0xc040 [0xc07f].
BAR6: 32 bit memory at 0xffffffffffffffff [0x0001fffe].
id ""
Bus 0, device 4, function 0:
Ethernet controller: PCI device 8086:100e
IRQ 11.
BAR0: 32 bit memory at 0xf2060000 [0xf207ffff].
BAR1: I/O at 0xc080 [0xc0bf].
BAR6: 32 bit memory at 0xffffffffffffffff [0x0001fffe].

Bus 0, device 5, function 0:
Ethernet controller: PCI device 8086:100e
IRQ 10.
BAR0: 32 bit memory at 0xf20a0000 [0xf20bffff].
BAR1: I/O at 0xc0c0 [0xc0ff].
BAR6: 32 bit memory at 0xffffffffffffffff [0x0001fffe].

Slot 3 & 4 on IRQ 11, but slot 5 on 10? That confuses Windows XP here -
at least until you reboot it after the device installation.
