+ * This assigns static PCI slots to all configured devices.

+ * with old QEMU < 0.12, so that if a user updates a QEMU
+ * host from old QEMU to QEMU >= 0.12, their guests should
+ * get PCI addresses in the same order as before.
+ *
+ * NB, if they previously hotplugged devices then all bets
+ * are off. Hotplug for old QEMU was unfixably broken wrt
+ * to stable PCI addressing.
+ *
+ * Order is:
+ *
+ *  - Host bridge (slot 0)
+ *  - PIIX3 ISA bridge, IDE controller, something else unknown, USB controller (slot 1)
+ *  - Video (slot 2)
+ *
+ * Incrementally assign slots from 3 onwards:
+ *
+ *  - Net
+ *  - Sound
+ *  - SCSI controllers
+ *  - VirtIO block
+ *  - VirtIO balloon
+ *  - Host device passthrough
+ *  - Watchdog
