It turned out to be quite, well, difficult.  The change - while
is trivial in upstream commit, requires some piece of infrastructure
preparations, to support "no_hotplug'gable" device attribute and
to "qdevify" one of piix4 subdevices (qdev is a new device model
of qemu).  Redhat did the backports (6 patches in total), but I
don't like how they did it - they simplified things too much to
my taste.  Working on it...
