Can anybody confirm if PCI Express devices are really supported
by xen-pci-passthrough?

I suggest we add only INTERFACE_CONVENTIONAL_PCI_DEVICE to the
class info until we confirm that.

(In other words, apply this patch as-is, and add
INTERFACE_PCIE_DEVICE later as a follow-up patch if appropriate.)
