We'd go from

system bus

     -> virtio transport bus (virtio-xxx-bus)

to

     -> virtio bus (virtio-bus-xxx)
        -> virtio dev (virtio-<type>-xxx)

I'm not sure of what you mean,.. do you mean for s390 ?

for the moment we have e.g : virtio-blk-pci ( in virtio-pci.c )

and we want virtio-pci -> virtio-bus -> virtio-blk.

( or virtio-mmio -> virtio-bus -> virtio-blk. for pci-less system. )
I meant the structure you see in 'info qtree'. We might be talking
about the same thing :)
For the qtree structure we have eg for virtio block :

bus: main-system-bus
  type System
  dev: pcihost, id ""
    bus: pci.0
      type PCI
      dev: virtio-blk-pci, id ""
        ...

And it would become :

bus: main-system-bus
  type System
  dev: pcihost, id ""
    bus: pci.0
      type PCI
      dev: virtio-pci, id ""
        bus: virtio.0
          type VIRTIO
          dev: virtio-blk, id ""
            ...


Is it the right approach ? Do I miss something ?
What of the alias handling? Can this be killed once everything has been
converted?
Which alias ?
The alias stuff in hw/qdev-monitor.c that lets you specify either
virtio-<type>-<transport> or virtio-<type>.

So it would break the alias, we must find a solution for that.
