Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] Clarify why some controllers don't generate -device string in QEMU driver

The QEMU driver contained code to generate a -device string for piix4-ide, but wasn't using it. This change removes this string generation. It also adds a comment explaining why IDE and FDC controllers don't generate -device strings. The change also generates an error if a sata controller is specified for a QEMU domain, as this isn't supported. * src/qemu/qemu_conf.c: Remove VIR_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_TYPE_IDE handler in qemuBuildControllerDevStr(). Ignore IDE and FDC controllers. Error if SATA controller is discovered.
