"mach-virt" just means "completely described by device tree
with no knowledge hardcoded in the kernel about the platform".
We don't currently have any PCI host controller which is:
(a) for ARM
(b) entirely device tree driven
(c) supported by QEMU
(d) with a decent Linux driver

So mach-virt doesn't have PCI; it will use virtio-mmio,
same as kvmtool for ARM does.
