We are currently checking for an exact type match.  Use QOM dynamic_cast to
check for a compatible type instead.

I think this only catches the case where a bus was explicitly
specified via bus=. For the default case you also need to change
the similar code for checking the bus type in qbus_find_recursive(),
right?

Right, it's working only with the "bus=" command line.
