Before this patch, this would not help since the primary bus speed
is not even set by the kernel.

After this patch, normalizing the QEMU device/bus/... speed may help
avoiding future conflicts, but we should discuss it in qemu mailing list :).

Ignoring emulated/para-virt device's speed when running in a VM it is\
a good question, but I don't know if such a distinction would be feasible.

Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Marcel
