[Libvirt-cim] [PATCH 00/10] cimtest: changes for controller and upstream support

[Xu Wang]

FYI. Maybe my original guess is right...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PCI controllers have an optional|model|attribute with possible 
values|pci-root|,|pcie-root|,|pci-bridge|, or|dmi-to-pci-bridge|. The 
root controllers (|pci-root|and|pcie-root|) have an 
optional|pcihole64|element specifying how big (in kilobytes, or in the 
unit specified by|pcihole64|'s|unit|attribute) the 64-bit PCI hole 
should be. Some guests (like Windows XP or Windows Server 2003) might 
crash when QEMU and Seabios are recent enough to support 64-bit PCI 
holes, unless this is disabled (set to 0).Since 1.1.2 (QEMU only)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
