This looks more like a libvirt question than a qemu one.

The name that libvirt chooses to identify disks from the host 
perspective is independent...

...from what the guest OS chooses to use.  Although there are many 
situations where a Linux guest will pick the same names as libvirt chose 
on the host side based on the transport (such as SCSI or virtio), there 
is no guarantee that this is always the case, nor that your guest is 
always running Linux as its OS.

Title:
  it always create sdx device when I configure ide device with hdx name

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  I have configured 2 ide disks with name starting with hd, but when the
  vm boots up, it shows disks whose name starting with sd.

  1. ide disks in vm xml:

      <disk type='file' device='disk'>
        <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
        <source file='/data3_raw.qcow2'/>
        <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
      </disk>
      <disk type='file' device='disk'>
        <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
        <source file='/data2.qcow2'/>
        <target dev='hdb' bus='ide'/>
      </disk>

  
  2. in VM:

  sda            8:0    0    2G  0 disk
  sdb            8:16   0    1G  0 disk

  
  3. from vm.log:

  le=/data2.qcow2,format=qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-1 -device ide-
  hd,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=drive-ide0-0-1,id=ide0-0-1 -drive
  file=/data3_raw.qcow2,format=raw,if=none,id=drive-ide0-1-0 -device
  ide-hd,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -netdev t

  
  4. rpm info: (I got the same issue on 2 diff envs)
  (1) env1
  qemu-kvm-1.5.3-105
  libvirt-3.2.0-14.el7
  (2) env2
  libvirt-5.9.0-1.el8
  qemu-4.1.0-1.el8
