Actually any default: or _LAST: case should use virReportEnumRangeError().
The virDomainHostdevSubsysTypeToString() methods should only be used in
explicitly matched enums constants.
I understand having this kind of safe guard, but we have a specific code path
here where the XML parser has already taken care of non-existent types and
we're left with only types which do not support or do not care about hotplug,
therefore an error like "Unexpected value <number> blah" doesn't IMHO
make
sense and doesn't tell you anything, we should reformulate the whole
'unexpected' part of the error, we expected it just fine, it's just
there's no
such device in the domain and even if it was, we don't know whether we can do
hotplug on it, that's what you can read from the code as you follow the detach
procedure.
