If we add model='virtio' we should always translate it back to
'virtio-scsi'. It's not a new model or new feature, it's just a
different name for existing model and we should not break management
applications that are already using 'virtio-scsi'. It would be
basically only alias. The question is whether it's useful, if
management application starts using 'virtio' when creating new guest it
would still had to be able to parse 'virtio-scsi' and my guess is that
it would not help at all.
