Currently, -device xxx still can't work well for ppc64 platform.
It's better use legacy USB option with default for ppc64.
This patch is to legacy USB option with default for ppc64.

For what it is worth: if QEMU's support for -device <usbcontroller> is
broken on PPC, it seems perfectly OK to add special handling.
The patch you have posted will serve the purpose and I do support it.
Another approach would be to clear the problematic capabilities in
qemu_capabilities.c, e.g. in virQEMUCapsInitQMP, which might be
conceptually cleaner. Maybe a libvirt committer wants to comment...
Right, masking the capability from qemuCaps just after it's been probed
is the right approach. That way, all code paths relying on that
capability will stop using it automatically.
Hi Jirka/Victor,
Thanks for your comments.
After investigating QEMU, PIIX3_USB_UHCI is also can work on PPC64.
I have thought that PIIX3 is only for x86. But QEMU still support it for
PPC64 which shouldn't be a big issue.
So it's not necessary to disable this capability.
The problem this patch is to resolve:
In libvirt, it will report error when VGA is enabled by -device xxxx for
pSeries guest in libvirt.
In QEMU, it requires the option "-machine xx,usb=off" to resolve this error.
Because for pSeries, usb=on as default , and machine_init will create
one USB controller.
If with -device xxx, it will create another controller. So one conflict
occurs.
This should be resolved with another patch which isn't accepted.

Now, only legacy USB ( -usb configuration ) can work correctly with VGA
in libvirt.
So this patch supposes -usb as default when no model is specified for PPC64.
If USB device model specified, it still needs that patch as I mentioned
above in the future.
Thanks. :)
