No, I personally myself had the hardware. Really.

Note that in general hoping that current mainline kernel will always work with ancient QEMU is a losing proposition -- it is always possible that a kernel improvement will trigger a latent model bug in QEMU. (To pick a random example, some while ago fixes to how the kernel dealt with BGR and RGB pixel formats on the versatile board broke QEMU because we weren't modelling it right; that was just a QEMU bug for which the fix is "get a newer QEMU".)
The back-compat in the PCI code is so that the older kernels (2.6.x) will continue to work, which is not quite the same thing.
