Probably not given how small these functions are and how they use glib
assert calls because they are part of tests.

Yes, it's only i440fx for now. I think it makes sense to move it later
since we have no non-x86 qtests yet.

Sorry this comment is unclear. I meant initializing the "PciDevice"
struct, not the physical PCI device. Will change.
