Hi Alex,

I can do this addition without pain in a separate series. Actually I
thought you add in mind something more sophisticated where VIRTIO-MMIO
would be added on platform-bus transparently if a VIRTIO device
(virtio-net-device for instance) were instantiated. This appeared to me
as less immediate.
