If we start a guest with default machine type (pc-i440fx), the prefix
of bootindex string is "/pci at i0cf8", if we start guest with -M q35,
the prefix will become "/q35-pcihost at i0cf8".

We only match "/pci at i0cf8" in seabios, it causes boot priority of q35
devices could not be changed.

We could not change TYPE_Q35_HOST_DEVICE to 'pci' in qemu to adapt
seabios, so fix the pattern.

| qemu/include/hw/pci-host/q35.h:#define TYPE_Q35_HOST_DEVICE "q35-pcihost"


I see glob_prefix() is not powerful, "/*pci*@i0cf8" & "/*@i0cf8" all
work.


Or change TYPE_Q35_HOST_DEVICE to "pci-q35" in qemu, and use
"/pci*@i0cf8" in seabios ?
