hw/pci: introduce PCI Expander Bridge (PXB)
PXB is a "light-weight" host bridge whose purpose is to enable
the main host bridge to support multiple PCI root buses
for pc machines.
As oposed to PCI-2-PCI bridge's secondary bus, PXB's bus
is a primary bus and can be associated with a NUMA node
(different from the main host bridge) allowing the guest OS
to recognize the proximity of a pass-through device to
other resources as RAM and CPUs.
The PXB is composed from:
- A primary PCI bus (can be associated with a NUMA node)
Acts like a normal pci bus and from the functionality point
of view is an "expansion" of the bus behind the
main host bridge.
- A pci-2-pci bridge behind the primary PCI bus where the actual
devices will be attached.
- A host-bridge PCI device
Situated on the bus behind the main host bridge, allows
the BIOS to configure the bus number and IO/mem resources.
It does not have its own config/data register for configuration
cycles, this being handled by the main host bridge.
- A host-bridge sysbus to comply with QEMU current design.
