QEMU currently crashes when the user tries to add a spapr-pci-host-bridge on a non-pseries machine:
$ qemu-system-ppc64 -M ppce500 -device spapr-pci-host-bridge,index=1 hw/ppc/spapr_pci.c:1535:spapr_phb_realize: Object 0x1003dacae60 is not an instance of type spapr-machine Aborted (core dumped) The same thing happens with the deprecated but still available child type spapr-pci-vfio-host-bridge. Fix both by checking the machine type with object_dynamic_cast().
