Thanks for your check!

This is a little bit hard to answer. Our patch adds the code calling the 
function which is to
attach zpci address in rng attachment function. As the logic in libvirt, 
zpci could be generated
for rng device. But it actually can't be supported in s390 qemu binary. 
If it is being plugged,
the error should be reported.

Thus, if we remove the attachement code for zpci in 
qemuDomainAttachRNGDevice(),
we should update libvirt when rng supports msix in qemu. If we keep it 
here, then update for libvirt
is not needed.
