Sorry, I can't understand why this is related to the ISA bridge, 00:01.0
or even other PCIe machine type.

In virtualized case we always need to create this ISA bridge as a devfn,
00:15.0, work for the i915 driver to support IGD passthrough.

In qemu-xen-traditional, this ISA bridge is already created as follows:

1> We set this ISA type explicitly;
2> We register that as 00:15.0.

In qemu-upstream, as you commented we can't create this as a ISA class
type explicitly. So we compromise by faking this ISA bridge without ISA
class type setting (as I recall you already said this way is slightly
better). Maybe we will figure better way in the future. But anyway, this
is always registered as 00:15.0, right? So I think the i915 driver can
go back to probe the devfn like the native environment.

If I'm wrong please correct me.

Thanks
Tiejun
