The next observation is that while we expand the SCSI addressing, the current propose flattens the PCI hierarchy (i.e. pci_addr=00:01.0). An alternative would be to either always expand or always flatten addressing. I think the later has a lot of merit. Consider: -controller type=lsi1234,addr=00:01,name=blah -controller-disk controller=blah,addr=00:01,name=sda -controller type=ide,addr=00.02,name=ide -controller-disk controller=ide,addr=3,name=hdd -drive file=foo.img,controller-disk=sda -drive file=bar.img,controller-disk=hdd This means that addr's format depends on the parent device node which is a bit less explicit than the previous example. However, it is much more consistent and easier to implement. Basically, when adding a device to it's parent, you hand the parent the "addr" field and that lets you say where you want to sit on the bus.
