It simply didn't?

I suspect this got ported over from the qemu-xen tree, but wasn't really
tested and also not adapted to commit "9af21db pci: Trivial device model
conversions to realize".  So this patch actually is yet another
bugfix ...

Current test status of this series (by Hao) is this:

  * newer linux intel drivers work just fine without chipset tweaks.
  * older linux intel drivers and windows guests don't work even with
    all the fixes in this series.

So applying the series doesn't improve things at all (code cleanups
aside).  My current plan to go forward is:

  (a) get test hardware (wip atm).
  (b) go figure what is really needed, lots of testing.
  (c) rework and repost series.

cheers,
