The information on companion controllers we give in our documentation is
rather sparse. For example, it looks like any controller can be used as
a companion one. Also, when using ich9-uhci2, for example, we are able
to set some sensible defaults, but it might get confusing for the user
as we don't do that for all controller models.

relationship of the companion to its master controller.
A companion controller is on the same bus as its master, so
the companion <code>index</code> value should be equal.
+ Not all controller models can be used as companion controllers
+ and libvirt might provide some sensible defaults (settings
+ of <code>master startport</code> and <code>function</code>
of an
+ address) for some particular models.
+ Preferred companion controllers are <code>ich-uhci[123]</code>.
