Now that all the work is done to enable the PV backends to work without
actual Xen, instantiate the bus from pc_basic_device_init() for emulated
mode.

This allows us finally to launch an emulated Xen guest with PV disk.

   qemu-system-x86_64 -serial mon:stdio -M q35 -cpu host -display none \
     -m 1G -smp 2 -accel kvm,xen-version=0x4000a,kernel-irqchip=split \
     -kernel bzImage -append "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/xvda1" \
     -drive file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/fedora28.qcow2,if=none,id=disk \
     -device xen-disk,drive=disk,vdev=xvda

If we use -M pc instead of q35, we can even add an IDE disk and boot a
guest image normally through grub. But q35 gives us AHCI and that isn't
unplugged by the Xen magic, so the guests ends up seeing "both" disks.

... on real Xen (master branch, 4.18) with a Debian guest.
