We decided to always create the PCI host bridge, even if 'zpci' is not
enabled (due to migration compatibility). This however right now allows
to add zPCI/PCI devices to a VM although the guest will never actually see
them, confusing people that are using a simple CPU model that has no
'zpci' enabled - "Why isn't this working" (David Hildenbrand)
Let's check for 'zpci' and at least print a warning that this will not
work as expected. We could also bail out, however that might break
existing QEMU commandlines.
