Sure.  However, I'm saying that it's fine for spapr to make -usb mean 
"OHCI, and also keyboard & mouse if there is a VGA card in the system".

If libvirt used "-device pci-ohci" unconditionally, it would fix the bug 
*and* it would ensure that the PCI slot of pci-ohci does not change due 
to some other unrelated reason.  So I would rather have the fix in libvirt.
