[PATCH 20/31] qemu: Always default to no USB controller on s390x
Posted by Andrea Bolognani via Devel 2 weeks, 5 days ago
When support for s390x was introduced in libvirt, it naturally
followed the conventions established at the time for x86, which
were to have a USB controller added by default.

Later, in 2013, commit 3a82f628a964 made the default USB
controller model for s390x VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_MODEL_USB_NONE,
effectively overriding the architecture-independent default.

However, an exception was carved out at the time: if the USB
controller had an address assigned to it, then it would be left
alone.

A couple of years later, commit 09ab9dcc85ec changed things
again in two ways: for starters, libvirt would no longer
automatically attempt to add a USB controller to newly-defined
s390x guests; moreover, the command line generator was changed
so that the legacy USB controller (-usb) would never be used
on s390x.

In other words, unless a model name is explicitly provided for
the USB controller, which is something that only actually works
when using a recent QEMU version (see commit f9ed4d385ab8),
s390x guests will never have USB controllers attached to them.

Remove the exception carved out a decade ago and always
reflect this fact accurately in the guest XML.
