Yes, it is. It's a single silicon package with a defined pinout. If
you don't believe me, re-read the spec.
It's a MCM with the PIIX3 being internally connected. The connection
between the i440fx and PIIX3 happens to be PCI but that's not always the
case. Sometimes it's a proprietary bus.

If this is useful, and it doesn't break guests, you can always do
-device i440fx,ide=off. However, it's an exception where we're
deviating from how hardware works.
And that's okay, but the base modelling ought to follow real hardware
closely with deviations being the exception.
