The Xen hvmloader doesn't break since it only supports one chipset.  But 
SeaBIOS checks for the exact vendor/device ids since Q35 support was added.

If you want to add this feature, try to implement it in a way that is a 
bit more forward-looking.  I'm sure that Xen sooner or later will want a 
PCIe chipset, otherwise things such as AER forwarding are impossible.
