Ok, that's just a naming thing.

Why?  To support virtio-pci in the future?  It seems like a good thing 
to have (future support for virtio-pci) but even then you'd have only 
two tests and that's already the exception.  The common case would be 
just one.  You could write that as

     struct virtio_device *arch_virtio_bind(u32 devid)
     {
         struct virtio_device *vdev;

	vdev = arch_virtio_mmio_bind(devid);
	if (!vdev)
	    vdev = arch_virtio_pci_bind(devid);
	return vdev;
     }

(I don't see kvm-unit-tests using ACPI in the future.  Having DT+ACPI x 
mmio+pci would be a good reason to have the array, but even then it's 
premature and these are unit tests not an OS...).
