Laine Stump 1e15be1bbc qemu: always permit PCI devices to be manually assigned to a PCIe bus
When support for the pcie-root and dmi-to-pci-bridge buses on a Q35
machinetype was added, I was concerned that even though qemu at the
time allowed plugging a PCI device into a PCIe port, that it might not
be supported in the future. To prevent painful backtracking in the
possible future where this happened, I disallowed such connections
except in a few specific cases requested by qemu developers (indicated
in the code with the flag VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_EITHER_IF_CONFIG).

Now that a couple years have passed, there is a clear message from
qemu that there is no danger in allowing PCI devices to be plugged
into PCIe ports. This patch eliminates
VIR_PCI_CONNECT_TYPE_EITHER_IF_CONFIG and changes the code to always
allow PCI->PCIe or PCIe->PCI connection *when the PCI address is
specified in the config. (For newly added devices that haven't yet
been given a PCI address, the auto-placement still prefers using the
correct type of bus).

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
