As in previous discussions of a similar type, I'm against adding
multiple names for the 100% functionally identical devices.

Previous naming choices from the past might not have been the
best in retrospect, but that's not a reason to make future XML
docs incompatible with existing libvirt by adding a 2nd different
name for something that's alread suppprted.
