The current code for using -drive simply sets the -drive 'index' parameter. QEMU internally converts this to bus/unit depending on the type of drive. This does not give us precise control over the bus/unit assignment though. This change switches over to make libvirt explicitly calculate the bus/unit number. In addition bus/unit/index are actually irrelevant for VirtIO disks, since each virtio disk is a separate PCI device. No disk controller is involved. Doing the conversion to bus/unit in libvirt allows us to correctly attach SCSI controllers when required. * src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Specify bus/unit instead of index for disks * tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-disk*.args: Switch over from using index=NNNN, to bus=NN, unit=NN for SCSI/IDE/Floppy disks
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
