Based on feedback from Liran and Arik, here:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1976607#c3
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1976607#c4

I should use

  <Device>vga</Device>

not

  <rasd:Device>vga</rasd:Device>

and then ovirt-engine already has code to handle that.

Liran: in comment 3 on the above BZ, you provide the snippet

<Item>
  <rasd:Caption>Graphical Controller</rasd:Caption>
  <rasd:InstanceID>2834786b-e9d0-4419-8e6a-c4843fed2f9c</rasd:InstanceID>
  <rasd:ResourceType>32768</rasd:ResourceType>
  <rasd:VirtualQuantity>1</rasd:VirtualQuantity>
  <rasd:SinglePciQxl>false</rasd:SinglePciQxl>
  <Type>video</Type>
  <Device>vga</Device>
  <rasd:Address></rasd:Address>
  <BootOrder>0</BootOrder>
  <IsPlugged>true</IsPlugged>
  <IsReadOnly>false</IsReadOnly>
  <Alias></Alias>
  <SpecParams>
    <vram>16384</vram>
  </SpecParams>
</Item>

>From these, virt-v2v does not provide the following at all:
- rasd:SinglePciQxl
- rasd:Address
- BootOrder
- IsPlugged
- IsReadOnly
- Alias
- SpecParams (with child node "vram")

Are any of these required, in addition to <Device>vga</Device>?
