There should be one more option in case the <virtualport> is specified in the guest's <interface>. According to the docs [2], when no "type=" is specified for the <virtualport> element, this should be auto-completed on the domain startup, but that's most probably not applicable for your situation (migration).

I picked a bad example (Open vSwitch also uses profileid). Think instead of the case where you didn't know if the host was going to be openvswitch (which uses interfaceid) or 802.1Qbg (which uses instanceid).
