Yup.  I finally stumbled on section 12.3.3 of the RHEL Virtualization
Administration Guide, which got me going:

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtualization_Administration_Guide/sect-Managing_storage_controllers_in_a_guest.html

Note that I didn't have to specify the alias for the controller, I just
added "<controller type='scsi' model='virtio-scsi' index='0'/>", and
libvirt did the rest.  I haven't tested yet, but it looks like it will
be possible to use virt-manager to add SCSI disks once the controller
has been added.

Now to see if my virtual RHEV hypervisors can use these as "Fibre
Channel" storage.

Sometimes there's nothing left to do but crash and burn...or die trying.
