I mean you can reuse the schema definition of storage pool.

Please do it when building command line. The XML should be generic for
all drivers, not specificly for one driver.

I'm not a fan of this idea. As we will want the adapter name like
"scsi_host0" anyway when associating the scsi storage pool, especially
the scsi pool behind a vHBA, which is represented by wwnn/wwpn, which
is not possible to represented by a number. And on the other hand,
reusing controller makes things confused.
