The intel gpu driver for this platform has more expectation on the
hardware so we have to expose more thing to the guest:
- opregion: It's a NVS storage and the driver use it to communicate
between the bios and the driver, so we have to map it.
- pci-to-pci bridge: The driver check if such device is there, so
we have to expose it.
Actually those are changes to please the driver more than the chip itself.
