I think it's not enough.

In fact, for pseries guest, scsi controller based on pci bus can
also work, which can't use ibmvscsi model. In this condition,
it needs to specify the controller model and pci bus address
in XML file.

For virt-manager, to make it work correctly, we need to specify
the model and address type in the controller configuration.
So I think it is inconvenient.

This patch adds the VSCSI bus type and VSCSI controller type.
And then the default model will be selected according to the
controller type. And then disk can find the right controller
to work without specifying the model and address type explicitly.

In a word, some times, there should be two kinds of SCSI
controllers with different address type and model on pseries.
Just using the default model 'ibmvscsi' can't make it work
correctly.

Thanks.
