[Zhang, Xiong Y] In my guest environment I always see emulated devices
are at head of pci device list, the passed through devices are at tail. Even if
I want to assign the passed IGD to 00:02.0, the qemu tell me 00:02.0 has already
occupied by emulated graphic card.
If I pass through real ISA bridge to guest, the emulated ISA bridge is at 00:01.0,
While real ISA bridge is at 00:04.0.
Then I checked the code: emulated devices are created in pc_init1() function, it
creates host_bridge firstly, create isa_bridge secondly, create all other devices following.
So I think Qemu could guarantee. Now I'm suspect it, and need your coach.
