I managed to make some progress on this
I remember reading that the -usbdevice command line option can only create uhci connections. When I opened my virtual machine settings in virt-manager I found that I had a single USB controller configured (apparently exactly 1 is allowed) and it was set to USB1.
I should have done this earlier beacuse USB1 is slow so I set it to USB3. Now, when I boot with the same XML, I have a bluetooth radio in the windows device manager. So what I think is happening is that qemu is free to add a uhci adapter for the emulated bluetooth since the only connected adapter from libvirt is xhci.
Only problem left is, it has the little yellow arrow and its status indicates "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" . So either the thing isn't meant to work on Windows 10 (ss it was added some time ago), I need to find a driver (google was no help), or I have the wrong command line options.
Guidance from anyone is appreciated, it feels like I am close to solving this but somehow still frustratingly far away

Daniel,Thanks for the reply.This is pretty much what I had assumed. I would guess that assigning any free address, or telling qemu to plug the bt device into a controller that libvirt creates, might work, but I cant find anything in the documentation for qemu that would assign an address via command line. Do you know how to do it?thanks,MaxOn Wed, Mar 1, 2017 at 4:11 AM Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:On Tue, Feb 28, 2017 at 09:33:16PM +0000, Max Ehrlich wrote:

No, libvirt doesn't have explicit support for bluetooh at this time.

Libvirt assigns PCI addresses for every device it adds. QEMU will assign
addresses for any device that doesn't have an address present. Your
custom device is missing an address and QEMU is asigning one, unaware that
the address it picks will clash with one assigned by libvirt.
To fix this you probably need to add addressing to your device addition,
but I'm unclear about exactly how the bluetooth devices work in QEMU so
can't give an explicit recommendation

Daniel
