Yes.  The libvirt team is a bit annoyed that the pci bus naming was
changed for PPC but not all architectures, but without a proper QMP
command to probe which naming scheme is in effect.  We thought that the
naming scheme was going to be universally supplied for all arches, not
just PPC.

Is this something that can be quickly fixed (perhaps by reverting the
PPC patch until a more complete solution is ready), and if so, is it
worth doing for 2.0 proper, rather than waiting for 2.0.1?
