  ne2k_isa i82551 i82557b i82559er ne2k_pci pcnet rtl8139 e1000 virtio XXXX.
  (All of these models are PCI devices, except "XXXX" which emulates a
  $manufacturers-name XXXX usb ethernet device.

(A bit off topice, but it's actually kind of starting to bother me that
we just blindly pass-through all the other netdev models rather than
validating them...)

  [so that it's obvious the "since 1.0.2" applies only to the usb device]

You haven't mentioned anything about the (new) possibility of an
<interface> having <address type='usb' .../> (of course there is no
specific place where it's mentioned that it can have an <address
type='pci' .../> either, so I'm not sure where is the best place to put
that).

This is technically correct, but the existing check of detail
consistency for virtio devices is done down below, after def->model is
already set, rather than combining it into this basic sanity check. That
would allow more sanity checks related to this type of device to be
added later, without obscuring the character set sanity checking that's
being done here.

Hmm. It would be nicer to be able to just check for info.type == PCI,
but of course on the initial run that isn't set yet. I guess at some
place this type of device (whatever we end up calling it) needs to be
determined to be a USB device and we need to assign it an address. How
is this done for hostdevs? (I haven't looked, I've only done things with
PCI hostdevs)
