To be honest, I haven't tried this yet and I was expecting it to be
already taken care of. I was relying on the DTB automatically
generated by Qemu to get the driver probed and didn't have a look at
it as well.

I now understand that it won't be that straight forward. The same must
be true for adding an i2c device to an i2c bus over virtio (The way I
tested that earlier was by using the sysfs file to add a device to a
bus).

This may be something lacking generally for virtio-pci thing, not
sure though.
