Here too, please mention the version (4.0) explicitly.

This should be fine guest ABI wise, since the plain version of the
device has always been 1.0-only and thus should match the
non-transitional version perfectly.

This is not right - the device went from transitional to 1.0-only.

The problem is actually in the fact that we accepted
"virtio-(non-)transitional" as model for this device in the first
place, which we shouldn't have. And that was my mistake: when I wrote

    qemu: Improve validation for virtio input devices

    While the parser and schema have to accept all possible models,
    virtio-(non-)transitional models are only applicable to
    type=passthrough and should be otherwise rejected.

I was clearly under the impression that
virtio-input-host-pci-(non-)transitional was a valid QEMU device that
it made sense to expose to users. I guess I must have had QEMU 4.0
installed on my machine O:-)

So

to the qemuBuildVirtioDevGetConfigDev() hunk, but it needs to come
after a patch that fixes qemuValidateDomainDeviceDefInput() so that
it rejects virtio-(non-)transitional as model for all virtio input
devices and ajusts the test suite accordingly.
