<disk> devices lack the model= attribute which is used by
most other device types. bus= mostly acts as one, but it
serves other purposes too like determing what target=
prefix to use, and for matching against controller type=
values.

Extending bus= to handle additional virtio transitional
devices will complicate apps lives, and it isn't a clean
mapping anyways. So let's bite the bullet and add a new
<disk model=X/> attribute, and wire up common handling
for virtio and virtio-{non-}transitional

I'd reword this a bit to highlight the fact that protocol
compatibility is the main point of these devices, and slot assignment
stems from it. Something like

  This device can work both with virtio 0.9 and virtio 1.0 guest
  drivers, so it's the best choice when compatibility with older
  guest operating systems is desired. libvirt will plug the device
  into a conventional PCI slot.

In the same vein as the above,

  This device can only work with virtio 1.0 guest drivers, and it's
  the recommended option unless compatibility with older guest
  operating systems is necessary. libvirt will plug the device into
  either a PCI Express slot or a conventional PCI slot based on the
  machine type, resulting in a more optimized PCI topology.

And here too,

  This device will work like a <code>virtio-non-transitional</code>
  device when plugged into a PCI Express slot, and like a
  <code>virtio-transitional</code> device otherwise; libvirt will
  pick one or the other based on the machine type. This is the best
  choice when compatibility with libvirt versions older than 5.1.0
  is necessary, but it's otherwise not recommended to use it.

The idea behind these suggestions is that we should help the user
understand the various trade-offs and pick the value that better
suits their needs.
