This chunk ^^^^ is unnecessary, since the schema already allows for a 
target/hotplug attribute for *all* PCI controller models (on line 2645), 
so this new bit in the scheme has no effect.

(qemuValidateDomainDeviceDefControllerPCI is doing a more specific check 
to assure nobody tries to specify the hotplug attribute for controller 
models that don't support it, and you've added the proper check there)

It makes for less maintenance (and a *miniscule* reduction in disk space 
used :-)) if you populate the source xml in qemuxml2argvdata with all 
the extra stuff that's added by the parser (ie, just copy the file from 
qemuxml2xmloutdata to qemuxml2argvdata) and then make the file in 
qemuxml2argvdata a symlink to the original file. That way if something 
changes in the source XML, the output XML is automatically updated.

You created a qemuxml2argvdata/pc-i440fx-acpi-root-hotplug-disable.xml 
testfile, but forgot to add it to qemuxml2xmltest.c. (again, once you do 
that and create the

So 3 items:

1) get rid of unnecessary new chunk in domaincommon.rng
2) add pc-i440fx-acpi-root-hotplug-enable test to qemuxml2xmltest.c
3) make the 2 new xml files in qemuxml2xmloutdata into symlinks to their 
(fully populated) mates in qemuxml2argvdata.
