Since Alex has it in his ppc queue,
Reviewed-by: Andreas Färber <afaerber@suse.de>
The PC change looks straightforward too and if I'm interpreting the "if
(pci_enabled) { ... } else" correctly it should be covered by qom-test
running -M isapc, so I'll queue it if testing succeeds.
Reviews/acks/nacks still appreciated.
Regards,
Andreas
