I think having a generic address has a lot of value in terms of code 
implementation.  Otherwise, the valid options for -drive become 
context-sensitive which is going to be annoying and error-prone.  Some 
sanity could be added by using addressing prefixes like addr=pci:00:01.0 
or addr=scsi:0.3 but I'll leave that up to whoever takes this on.
