Exactly, and there is even no root bridge for bus 0 as well. We just
hand out the devices. We try hard to keep it that simple in order to
avoid emulation bloat in the hypervisor (which < 9K LoC on Intel right now).

This statement about ARM probably does not apply to incomplete PCI
hierarchy. I guess we cannot fill that gap with device tree
descriptions, but I also didn't run into that scenario yet as most ARM
systems we tested do not even allow to partition PCI buses (many IOMMU
implementations on SoCs, where available at all, consider the root
complex as single device).

We we go, using a QEMU/KVM setup
(... -device pci-bridge,chassis_nr=1,id=b1
-device e1000e,addr=1.0,netdev=net,bus=b1):
