Re: [pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server] fix #5543: pci: don't use pci devices when starting templates

[Fiona Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com>]

I'd be in favor of fixing this together with
https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3352
and use a minimal QEMU commandline that only attaches the block devices
and nothing else. I guess the addition for the PCI cleanup is still
needed, but getting the minimal commandline is probably best done as a
new helper. What do you think?
