Bram de Greve 6c4b7758aa Adding disk_address_type option. (#954) ...

This patch allows to specify the virtio-mmio address type, which is
needed for debian guests on virt machines that don't support the PCI
address type.

where it is explicitly said to use `virtio-blk-device` and
`virtio-net-device` instead of `virtio-blk-pci` and `virtio-net-pci`, for
that reason.

Apparently, libvirt will use the `virtio-blk-pci` and `virtio-net-pci`
by default. By setting address type to `virtio-mmio`, it uses
`virtio-blk-device` instead. It seems not necessary to do the same for
the network controller, since libvirt will also use `virtio-net-device`
if the disk address type is set to `virtio-mmio`.

While this should help with ARM machines, it won't solve all issues
as some machines will boot perfectly with the existing defaults
provided the correct loader binary is used.
