Yes, *both* Qemu and OHW need to be patched.  It shouldn't matter which
one supports the host bridge first.  You shouldn't even worry about
making PReP unstable by adding support for the PCI host bridge to either
qemu or OHW because PReP isn't stable now - it doesn't even boot without
the host bridge.
