Hyper-V's SCSI controllers are paravirtualized ("synthetic" in Hyper-V 
terms). I've been omitting the model setting from my XML files.

I can think of three options for how to handle this:

1. only support VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_MODEL_SCSI_DEFAULT

2. support VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_MODEL_SCSI_DEFAULT and 
   VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_MODEL_SCSI_AUTO

3. add VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_MODEL_SCSI_HYPERV and support 
   VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_MODEL_SCSI_HYPERV, 
   VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_MODEL_SCSI_DEFAULT, and 
   VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_MODEL_SCSI_AUTO

Adding another virDomainControllerModelSCSI seems unnecessary to me 
because Hyper-V doesn't support emulating any SCSI controllers; it only 
has its paravirtualized SCSI functionality.

Which do you recommend?

There are no address settings for Hyper-V SCSI controllers, so this 
will always be the case. I'll report an error if address settings are 
provided.

Thanks!
