Thanks Cole.. Here is the XML for a PPC64 guest.
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/360574/61826548/
You can see the slot 1 is free as I unplugged a device there.
On X86, Q35 seems to use the model ich9-ehci1 by default. So, may not be
applicable there.
For pc-i440fx, I couldn't force USB to occupy any place other than slot 1
function 2. So, might not be applicable there too.
Regards,
Shiva

Sorry this didn't receive a timely response. Can you provide the XML config
that reproduces this? I wonder if this is something that affects x86 too.
And
if so we may want to fix it in a different way
Thanks,
