The motivation for this patch is ok, but the impl isn't quite
robust enough. When nextslot gets to 31, libvirt resets it back
to 0 and starts searching again (in case there are now gaps from
unplugged devices). So when this happens, it'll pick up slot 2
again.
In qemuAssignDevicePCISlots() we do this
if (!reservedIDE &&
qemuDomainPCIAddressReserveSlot(addrs, 1) < 0)
goto error;
To ensure the PIIX is always reserved, even if no IDE disks
are present. I think we can just do the same with VGA but
with s/1/2/ in the slot number.
