There is a function virDomainDefAddImplicitControllers() in the
domain_conf.c which looks to be missing the SATA case.

Just being able to launch a guest + the test data files for qemuxml2argvtest
would be the minimum. Hotplug would be desirable if it works in QEMU, but
not critical.

Oh, AHCI still wants the 'ide-drive' devices ? I always figured it would
have a new type of device there too, but perhaps not.
