The new platform bus code and the old PCI bus code overlap. Platform bus
can handle any type of device, including PCI devices, whereas the PCI code
can only handle PCI devices. Some drivers only support the old style
PCI-probe methods, but the primary device detection code is server based,
not driver based; so we might end up with a primary device which only has
a PCI bus-capable driver, but was detected as primary by the platform
code, or the other way around.
(The above paragraph was shamelessly stolen from Hans de Goede, and
customized.)
The latter case applies to QEMU's virtio-gpu-pci device: it is detected as
a BUS_PCI primary device, but we actually probe it first (with the
modesetting driver) through xf86platformProbeDev(). The
xf86IsPrimaryPlatform() function doesn't recognize the device as primary
(it bails out as soon as it sees BUS_PCI); instead, we add the device as a
secondary graphics card under "autoAddGPU". In turn, the success of this
automatic probing-as-GPU prevents xf86CallDriverProbe() from proceeding to
the PCI probing.
The result is that the server exits with no primary devices detected.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
