SMBIOS ways is fine for static configs where no hot-plug is involved.
Also potentially SMBIOS way may be used by arm/virt board,
since acpi-index shares a lot with ACPI PCI hotplug infrastructure
and we haven't ported that to arm/virt impl. yet.
It also won't work for Q35 at the moment, but Julia is working
on adding support for ACPI PCI hotplug to it, and once it arrives
acpi-index will become available there.
Perhaps we should also add support for ACPI PCI hotplug to virt/arm,
along with Q35.
