Also don't abuse the disk driver name to specify the SCSI controller model anymore:

Use the newly added model attribute of the controller element for this:
<controller type='scsi' index='0' model='buslogic'/>
I don't see any change to docs/schemas/domain.rng for this new XML attribute. Am I missing something, or how do you write an xml file that uses this attribute and still passes validation?
The model attribute itself was added in a previous patch of this series, including domain.rng extension. This patch adds usage for the previously added attribute.
Serves me right for only looking at 3/3, since 2/3 already had an ack ;)
I see it now, and it looks okay. Thanks for clearing up my question.
docs/drvesx.html.in | 25 +-
Is the xml addition ESX-specific, or should the new controller attribute also be documented in docs/formatdomain.html.in? Is anything other than model='lsilogic' supported?
Currently it's only used by ESX, but it should be documented in docs/formatdomain.html.in. The problem here is that docs/formatdomain.html.in currently completely lacks documentation for the controller element, that was initially added for the QEMU driver a while ago.
formatdomain.html.in lacks a number of things, doesn't it ;)
Yes, we're adding new stuff faster than we're documenting it properly.

I noticed you converted most of your tests to the new scheme. But shouldn't you leave at least one test on the old scheme (or better yet, create a new test whose sole purpose is to test the old scheme), to ensure you don't break backwards compatibility?
Well, the XML in the VMX-2-XML tests is the output generated by libvirt, so it's correct that all those files use the new syntax. In case of the XML-2-VMX tests the XML files are the input, and here all tests still use the old way to define the SCSI controller model. Actually, I should add XML-2-VMX tests that use the new syntax and I should add some negative tests to make sure disk address verification works correct. But that's stuff for an additional patch.
At any rate:
ACK to this patch, and the formatdomain.html.in cleanups can come as a separate patch later.
Thanks, pushed. Matthias
