Consider:
The SCSI host number is not a static value that should be used as a
unique identifier. The value can change based on SCSI kernel module
reloads or after a system reboot. This patch will introduce a mechanism
to uniquely identify the SCSI host based upon the parent and unique_id
attributes generated as part of the kernel file system path. The new XML
format will be:

The "parent" and "name" attributes are mutually exclusive to identify
the SCSI host number. Use of the "parent" attribute will be the
preferred mechanism.

Oh joy.

I see no change to docs/formatstorage.html - the examples there need to
be updated and the descriptions of fields/attributes need to be changed.
Of real importance would be that for 'scsi_host' one must choose to use
either "name" or "parent" and "unique_id" to describe things; however,
it seems that use of "parent" is preferred since it provides a better
way to uniquely identify things after reboots or SCSI kernel module reloads.
I would expect to see an example of the scsi_host entry and perhaps some
details about how someone could "generate" the parent name based on the
expectations of the code. That is the parent name seems to have a
fairly specific format - that format is derived using a udev or hal
backend style (I don't know what those are, btw). So as a consumer of
this code - where would I look for each style and how would I generate
the parent value in order to abide by the rules that the code will use.

If I read the .rng file correctly, I think you only care about the
'unique_id' if "parent" is found. If someone supplies "name" and
'unique_id' that appears to be legal to this code, although illogical -
that is:
<adapter type='scsi_host' name="host0" unique_id='5'>
So either you keep this code as is or add a check below after the if
"!name && !parent" and "name && parent" for "if name and has_unique_id,
then illegal xml

In the grand scheme of things - this is irrelevant. It seems you should
just be checking if it's provided regardless of validity (there's no
validation of wwnn, wwpn, and parent below). That is, no need for 'rc'
and if the return of virXPathUInt is successful, eg, == 0, then
has_unique_id = true.

The error message should read "Both 'name' and 'parent' cannot be
specified for the 'scsi_host' adapter."

[1] See note from above regarding 'name' and 'unique_id' being set.

Why no check for "has_unique_id" being set before printing? If not
provided on, this would result in a unique_id=0, which probably is not
right...
