xen-viommu will be a sysbus device and the device model will
be enabled via "-device" parameter.

I'm worried about the bugs we may expose by accepting all the
other sysbus devices in the command-line in addition to
xen-viommu.

I am working on a RFC to replace "has_dynamic_sysbus" with a
whitelist of sysbus device classes. This way we could enable only
xen-viommu on i440fx, instead of suddenly enabling all sysbus
devices just because of xen-viommu.

That sounds reasonable. Thanks for the job and we rebase on your patches.
