For pSeries guests libvirt will either automatically create, or
allow users to configure manually, PHBs with something like
<controller type='pci' index='1' model='pci-root'>
<target index='1'/>
</controller>
which is ultimately converted to
-device spapr-pci-host-bridge,index=1,id=pci.1
Ideally the interface for PowerNV guests can be made to be similar
if not identical at the libvirt level, without having to add too
many hacks... It would certainly help a lot if the QEMU interface
for PowerNV PHBs didn't stray too far from the above.
