Until recently, an <interface type='network'> would automatically be
assigned model "rtl8139", which in turn would lead to the device being
assigned a PCI address on a conventional PCI controller (i.e. a
pcie-to-pci-bridge). If the network was a typical Linux host
bridge-based network that used an emulated device, this would be
appropriate, since the guest actually would get an emulated rtl8139
NIC, and that device is a conventional PCI device.
However, if the network being used was a pool of hostdev devices, the
guest would get an actual PCIe network device assigned from the host
via VFIO; while the interface model in that case is irrelevant for the
QEMU commandline to assign the device, the PCI address would have
already been assigned prior to runtime, so the address assignment
would be done based on the model='rtl8139' - a conventional PCI
device. VFIO assignment of a PCIe device to a conventional PCI slot
works, but we would rather have these devices in a PCIe slot.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
Further information about the libvirt project can be found on the
website:
https://libvirt.org
