Extend qbus_find_dev to allow addressing of devices without an unique id
via an optional per-bus instance number. The new formats are
'driver.instance' and 'alias.instance'.

"instance number" isn't defined in this document.

I understand the problem you're trying to solve; I've had it myself many
times.  But is inventing an instance number the right solution?

The two e1000 devices already have a perfectly fine unique identifier on
their bus: their bus address.  What about recognizing bus addresses in
paths?  Requires a suitable restriction on device names and IDs to avoid
ambiguity, say "start with letter".

qdev currently doesn't abstract bus addresses, but that's fixable.

True, only implicitly via the example.

You would also have to specify unique addressing scheme to those buses
that do not have it yet. E.g. what should be the address of a ISA bus
device? The base of its first ioport range? But if it does not have any
as it only injects ISA IRQs?

Hmm, instance numbers are the lesser evil in this case.

Define them properly, and make info qtree show them, and we'll be okay,
I guess.
