Introduce virtio-pci-bus, which extends virtio-bus. It is used with virtio-pci
transport device.

This isn't quite right, I think (somebody correct me if I'm wrong!)
The virtio-pci-bus subclass doesn't have any state of its own, so it
doesn't need a struct, but it does still want a type, so virtio-pci.h should
have a
    typedef VirtioBusClass VirtioPCIBusClass;
    typedef VirtioBusState VirtioPCIBusState;
and we then use VirtioPCIBusClass/State where appropriate
(notably in the typeinfo for class/instance size and in the get-class/
class-check/etc macros).

This lets us easily add state later if we need to by turning the
typedef into a typedef'd struct without having to hunt down all
the places that now need to say 'VirtioPCIBus*' rather than
'VirtioBus*'.

-- PMM

Ok, I'll make the change.
