As of commit fcbfd50:
qemu: only check for PIIX3-specific device addrs on pc-* machinetypes
we only check that the controller is on slot 1 for PIIX3 machines,
so qemuDomainMachineIsI440FX(def) should also be one of the conditions.
It is possible to specify a usb controller with model='-1' on q35 too,
but I do not know if anyone actually uses it in the wild.

ACK, but I'll push next week after the release is out.
