Hi David / Konrad,

I have bisected this one .. it leads to:

commit 97badf873ab60e841243b66133ff9eff2a46ef29
Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri Apr 3 23:23:37 2015 +0200

device property: Make it possible to use secondary firmware nodes

Since i didn't see it directly related to pci-front, i double checked by 
reverting this commit(and 9b73262ccbf2fb0060303f047863214269e64f9a since it 
build depends on the other) on 4.1-rc2.

Reverting in the guest kernel indeed makes pci-front work correct again.
