When we unconditionally enable QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE, these tests need
some massaging, so do it ahead of time to not mix it in with the
big test refresh.

- minimal-s390 is not a real world working config, so drop it
- disk-usb was testing for an old code path that will be removed.
    instead use it to test lack of USB disk support, and rename it
    to disk-usb-nosupport. Switch xml2xml to use disk-usb-device for
    input.
- cputune-numatune was needlessly using q35, switch it to an older
    machine type

Why did I think that we had eliminated all use of "-usb"? Is it that we're
currently only using it in the tests? If so, that's another thing to eliminate
- we should never be using -usb unless that's the only way to get a usb device
for a particular qemu (and I don't know that that is *ever* the case).

The qemu_command.c chunk is:

     if (usbcontroller == 0 &&
         !qemuDomainMachineIsQ35(def) &&
         !ARCH_IS_S390(def->os.arch))
         virCommandAddArg(cmd, "-usb")

Where usbcontroller == 0 if we didn't build a -device string for a USB
controller. I'd need to dig into qemu to figure out what -usb actually maps to
to determine if that makes sense anymore

Okay, that's what I remember. usbcontroller will only be 0 if there was no
<controller type='usb'/> in the xml, and that shouldn't happen because the
post-parse will add a usb controller if there isn't any (except in a few cases
- see qemuDomainDefAddDefaultDevices). So is the post-parse not happening for
the qemuxml2argvtest? (there are dozens and dozens of "-usb" in the *.args files)



PostParse is triggered automatically via DomainDefParse. You can see in the
qemuxml2xml output that there's a USB controller added.

Looking deeper, that usbcontroller bit is only set if QEMU_CAPS_PIIX3_USB_UHCI
is available, otherwise it uses legacyusb aka -usb. Maybe that's another flag
that we can assume is available unconditionally for the qemu we support, I'd
need to dig a bit


Just my two cents here.  I remember that we were dealing with this
because of ppc64 with Andrea and I think we are using '-usb' in one
particular case even when there is the option to specify it as a
device.  That case is when we know the default usb controller that used
to be added with '-usb' and that particular controller is not available
(listed) in the list of devices, so to keep the guest ABI the same, we
fallback to '-usb' because we have no other way to do that.  However,
this will be a problem in the future when qemu changes the default
controller added with -usb.  That's just another rabbit hole I don't
want to go too deep in.  Maybe Andrea already knows more and started
doing something with it.  Andrea?
