[Libguestfs] [PATCH 1/3] launch-libvirt: place our virtio-net-pci device in slot 0x1e
The <qemu:commandline> trick we use for adding our virtio-net-pci device
in the libvirt backend can conflict with libvirtd's and QEMU's PCI address
assignment. Try to mitigate that by placing our device in slot 0x1e on the
root bus. In practice this could only conflict with a "dmi-to-pci-bridge"
device model, which libvirtd itself places in slot 0x1e. However, given
the XMLs we generate, and modern QEMU versions, libvirtd has no reason to
auto-add "dmi-to-pci-bridge". Refer to
<https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#controllers>;.

Notes:
v1:
- Regression-tested with
LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=libvirt virt-rescue -a test1.img --network
- According to "virsh dumpxml", the <qemu:commandline> element now
contains
<qemu:arg value='-device'/>
<qemu:arg value='virtio-net-pci,netdev=usernet,addr=1e.0'/>
And the corresponding QEMU command line option is (per "ps"):
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=usernet,addr=1e.0
