something I don't quite get is whether with this one can still add
new pcie bridges and then hotplug into these with native
hotplug.
the challenge to answering this with certainty is that right now qemu
does not allow hotplugging complex devices such as bridges at all,
we only have a hack for multifunction devices.
Maybe adding a bridge as function 1 on command line, then hotplugging another
device as
function 0 will work to test this.
