How about "FindUnusedIndex" or "GetUnusedIndex" ?

Something tells me virDomainControllerFind could one day be a bottleneck
as each time through we start at 0 (ncontrollers) looking for matching
'type' && 'idx'... I'm thinking of the recent head banging over the
network device (?tap*?) lookup algorithm...

One would think we don't have that many different controllers to make a
difference, but then again did we ever assume the same for the network
algorithm?  Whether creating a hash tree for each type of controller is
worth the effort would seem to be outside the scope of this set of
patches, but perhaps something that needs to be considered.

That being said - since it seems we're trying to find an available index
for a specific type of controller, perhaps it would be better to do
something like:

    idx = 0;

    for (i = 0; i < def->ncontrollers; i++) {
        if (def->controllers[i]->type == type) {
            if (def->controllers[i]->idx != idx)
                return idx;
            idx++;
        }
    }
    return idx;

The "else" isn't necessarily necessary ;-)

ACK - I would like to see the function name change only to indicate that
it's an action Find/Get.  Whether you adjust the find algorithm depends
on whether you'd like to revisit this code some day...
