You can automagically create the virtio devices on the virtio bus,
passing through any properties. usb-storage does this for example with
the scsi-disk device it needs. But then you can't have a generic
virtio-pci device any more. You need a virtio-blk-pci which creates a
virtio-bus and virtio-blk. So it doesn't buy us much over the current
situation ...
cheers,
Gerd
