No, we don't. The disk has a normal bus/target/unit address, like any
other SCSI disk.

A simple
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/path/file'/>
<target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0' />
</disk>
will do exactly what you want and add a default ibmvscsi controller.
More complex cases are handled with the controller element:
- giving a specific address to the controller:
<controller type='scsi' model='ibmvscsi'>
<address type='spapr-vio' ... />
</disk>
- using a PCI controller even with an sPAPR machine:
<controller type='scsi' model='virtio-scsi'>
<address type='pci' ... />
</disk>
- using both a vscsi and a PCI controller:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/path/file'/>
<target dev='sda' bus='scsi'/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' unit='0' />
</disk>
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/path/file'/>
<target dev='sdb' bus='scsi'/>
<address type='drive' controller='1' bus='0' unit='0' />
</disk>
<controller type='scsi' model='ibmvscsi'/>
<controller type='scsi' model='virtio-scsi'/>
(possibly with an spapr-vio and a pci address in the respective
controller elements).
