As somebody who doesn't really understand the problem space, my
thoughts:

(1) is this intended as advice for developers writing machine
models and adding pci controllers to them, or is it intended as
advice for users (and libvirt-style management layers) about
how to configure QEMU?

(2) it seems to be a bit short on concrete advice (either
"you should do this" instructions to machine model developers,
or "use command lines like this" instructions to end-users.
