Pick the default USB controller model when parsing the guest
XML instead of when creating the QEMU command line, so that
our choice is saved back to disk.

<thinking_out_loud>

So, if I understand correctly, if we left the model for PPC64 at -1:
[A] before 8156493 Fix USB model defaults for ppc64 [v1.3.1-rc1~47]
 we pass -usb on the command line, drop the controller from migration
 XML and possibly re-add it on the destination
[B] after that commit
 we pass -device pci-usb-ohci, lose that information in migration
[C] after 192a53e0 send default USB controller in xml [v1.3.5-rc1~459]
 We use -device pci-usb-ohci, passing the address to the
 destination

Migration between [A] and anything else is AFAIK broken since the
address used by -usb never matches the one we pick for the -device,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1357468

Migration between [C] and [B] should just work as long as hotplugging
did not change the order of the devices and the controller auto-added on
the destination gets the same address as the one that was removed.

</thinking_out_loud>

Is it possible to create a -device syntax that will match the -usb
command line generated by [A] (e.g. by specifying a 0000:00.00 PCI
addr)?

This change should fix migration from [B] and [C] and back:
* model=-1 coming from those hosts will get adjusted to OHCI on parsing
* we should not format model=-1 when migrating back to those hosts


+            } else {
+                /* Default USB controller for anything else is piix3-uhci */
+                if (virQEMUCapsGet(qemuCaps, QEMU_CAPS_PIIX3_USB_UHCI))
+                    cont->model = VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_MODEL_USB_PIIX3_UHCI;

For non-PPC64, migration was not broken before.

Ancient QEMUs not supporting QEMU_CAPS_PIIX3_USB_UHCI will still get
model=-1 (or not, I doubt anyone will run new libvirt with them).
Should we set it unconditionally for i440fx machines?
Everything else gets the model changed to PIIX3-UHCI.

Of course, this breaks migration to pre-0.9.x libvirt which did not
support USB controllers. I am okay with that, but you might want to get
a second opinion on that.

ACK
