I know this series carries a good bit of risk but I'd like to bring it 
in 0.12.0.  Because this has a guest visible change to the PCI devices, 
we cannot carry it in stable-0.12 post release and I think the 
functionality it brings it's very important.  Otherwise, it's easy to 
trip up with using multiple nics and extboot in qemu-kvm.

Any objections?
