This patch doesn't fit the modelling.

In <target>  'type' is refering to the guest hardware type,
which is always 'virtio'. 'vdgent' refers to a service running
over the device, not the device type. The '@name' attribute
is used to identify services, in this particular case 'com.redhat.com.spice.0'
refers to the vdagent service type.
