I was working away at some improvements for PS2 devices when I noticed that one small change to the instantiation of a PS2 mouse device caused a regression in tests/qtest/bios-tables-test, specifically the /x86_64/acpi/q35/viot subtest.
Closer examination of the failed test output showed the problem was that the order of the PCI host bridge entries had changed within the table causing the generated binary to fail to match the version in tests/data/acpi/q35/VIOT.viot. The error occurs because there is no guarantee in the order of PCI host bridges being returned from object_child_foreach_recursive() used within hw/acpi/viot.c's build_viot() function, so any change to the QOM tree can potentially change the generated ACPI VIOT table ordering and cause the regression tests to fail. Fortunately the solution is fairly easy: change build_viot() to build an array of PCI host bridges and then sort them first before generating the final ACPI VIOT table. I've chosen to sort the PCI host bridges based upon the min_bus number which seems to work okay here. The changes in this patchset were heavily inspired by the build_iort() function in hw/arm/virt-acpi-build.c which already does the right thing here. Patches 1-5 make the required changes before patch 6 updates the VIOT binary to match the updated ACPI VIOT table ordering.
