Like what we did for "disk", "filesystem" and "interface", this

Can this sub-element appear for every type of controller, or is it
limited to particular types of controllers?

It's only valid for virtio-scsi controller of qemu driver, but what I thought is we can make it generally for all drivers & all controllers. And do the checking
inside qemu driver instead.

You want the sublement to be inside the interleave, so that the user can

Agreed for the interleave.

specify <address> and <driver> in either order.  Also, if we only
support queues for a particular type of controller (previously, you only
had it under the type='scsi' controller), then this block should
probably appear as part of the scsi group back at [1].

Previously, since the queues is only valid for virtio-scsi controller,
I put in the scsi group, but now we changed to introduce a <driver>
sub-element, I think it makes more sense to make the <driver>
generic, and doesn't hurt to put the "queues" into it.
