Unfortunately, your patch came through with severe whitespace mangling.
 Thankfully, it was small enough, so I reconstructed it by hand.

Path-based parsing is wrong.  But we _do_ know whether the user is
creating a <parallel> or <serial> device based on the alias name, so we
should key off of that instead.

Style - libvirt prefers '} else {' on one line.

Rather than duplicating the entire virBufferAsprintf, you can use an
extra %s and the ?: operator to condense to one line.

It would also be nice to enhance the testsuite to cover this.

With that, I think this patch should have the same effect, but a bit
cleaner.  I'll go ahead and push it in your name; I updated AUTHORS in
the process, so let me know if I need to adjust the spelling at all.
