vbox: Add support for configuring storage controllers
</summary>
<description>
The VirtualBox driver now supports the <code>&lt;controller&gt;</code>
element in the domain XML for configuring storage controllers in VBOX
VMs. Additionally, libvirt's domain XML schema was updated to allow
optional <code>model</code> attribute for <code>&lt;controller
type='ide'&gt;</code> which is used by the VBOX driver to set the
IDE controller model to be one of 'piix4', 'piix4' (default), or
'ich6'. Finally, with this change <code>dumpxml</code> generates
<code>&lt;controller&gt;</code> elements that correspond to current
VBOX VM storage controller configuration.

vbox: Add support for attaching empty removable disks
</summary>
<description>
The VirutalBox driver now supports adding CD-ROM and floppy disk
devices that do not have the disk source specified. Previously such
devices were silently ignored.

<summary>
vbox: Add support for attaching SAS storage controllers
</summary>
<description>
In VirtualBox, SCSI and SAS are distinct controller types whereas
libvirt does not make such distinction. Therefore, the VBOX driver was
updated to allow attaching SAS controllers via <code>&lt;controller
type='scsi' model='lsisas1068'&gt;</code> element. If there are
both SCSI and SAS controllers present in the VBOX VM, the domain XML
can associate the disk device using the <code>&lt;address&gt;</code>
element with the <code>controller</code> attribute, and optionally,
set the port via <code>unit</code> attribute.

<summary>
vbox: Do not ignore failures to attach disk devices when defining
</summary>
<description>
The <code>define</code> now fails and reports an error if any of the
<code>controller</code> or <code>disk</code> devices specified in the
domain XML fail to attach to the VirtualBox VM.

vbox: Fix dumpxml to always output disk devices
</summary>
<description>
The VirtualBox driver was ignoring any disk devices in
<code>dumpxml</code> output if there was a SAS storage controller
attached to the VM.

<summary>
vbox: Fix dumpxml to always generate valid domain XML
</summary>
<description>
When a VirtualBox VM has multiple disks attached, each to a different
storage controller that uses 'sd' prefix for block device names e.g.
one disk attached to SATA and one to SCSI controller, it no longer
generates XML where both would have 'sda' device name assigned.
Instead it properly assigns 'sda' and 'sdb' to those disks in the
order of appearance.
