How exactly would you like it to be documented?

I looked into it before sending out v3 and found out that
formatdomain.html already contains the following text:

  PCI controllers also have an optional subelement <model>
  with an attribute name. The name attribute holds the name
  of the specific device that qemu is emulating (e.g.
  "i82801b11-bridge") rather than simply the class of device
  ("dmi-to-pci-bridge", "pci-bridge"), which is set in the
  controller element's model attribute. In almost all cases,
  you should not manually add a <model> subelement to a
  controller, nor should you modify one that is automatically
  generated by libvirt. Since 1.2.19 (QEMU only).

So that about covers it, doesn't it? In fact, other existing
concrete controller models such as ioh3240 are not mentioned
at all.
