No, a pseries machine doesn't support IDE bus.
we will limit the device list. Thanks :)

OK. Good suggestion. I will consider to modify it.

It also needs to set the address here.
Because this is another device which is added by "add hardware".

Oh, you are right. I didn't realize it.
I will review whether this check is necessary.
We will modify it. :)

OK. We can have some discussion about it.

As I mentioned in the mail for virinst,

There is a little tricky here, we pass the disk's address type as
spapr-vio from virt-manager GUI, in fact the address type of the
disk is "drive". So here the address type we get, it is not
spapr-vio.
So we use pseries machine to specify that it is vscsi.
