You are using the def->iothread only to format it with virtio disks,
but ... [1]

Some disks may not have source set (empty cdrom drive), so it should
probably be NULLSTR(src), but I think ""IOThread '%u' used multiple
times" is more than enough.

This leads me to a code simplification idea.  If you checked
QEMU_CAPS_OBJECT_IOTHREAD when creating the iothread objects it's
enough to make virBitmapGetBit() handle NULL bitmap carefully and then
just virBitmapGetBit() the bit the same way.  And if the message does
not output the disk name (src), this whole function can be thrown away
and instead of doing:

 if (!qemuDomainIothreadsAvailable(def, qemuCaps, disk))
     goto error;

you'd do:

 if (virBitmapGetBit(def->iothreadmap, disk->iothread, &tmp) || tmp)
     virReportError(...);

Just an idea, though, not a requirement ;)  If you keep it in a
separate function, though, I'd suggest checking the range and
reporting specific error, because when testing I got for example this
error:

 "IOThread '3' for disk '(null)' is already being used"

even though it clearly wasn't; I just had only 1 or 2 I/O threads
created.

[1] ... here you check it for all disks.  And it's kept in the domain
definition for all disks as well.  Maybe removing it from unsupported
disks and checking(+building) the iothreadmap could be done in
qemuDomainDefPostParse().

From the names of the functions I see in these two hunks I guess this
is ignored for non-virtio disks, which is a difference to
cold-plugging non-virtio disks.  The PostParse() modification I
suggest above would take care of that.

Making virBitmapClearBit() handle NULL bitmaps would clean this up to
be unconditional (even without the check for disk->iothread) ;)

Adding the iothread='x' in here and making a copy without it in
tests/qemuxml2xmloutdata/ you could do ... [2]

[2] ... DO_TEST_DIFFERENT() in here to test what I meant up there.

P.S.: Other than that it looks fine and I'm looking forward to v2!
