You will need to haveqemu-guest-agentinstalled for the IP address to show up.
For video devices, your only have three options: QXL, Virtio, and VGA
USB controller model defaults to USB 3.
Sound Device model is now HDA (ICH9) instead of ICH6
Looks like there are more performance options for Virtual Disk.
I recall that cache mode and IO mode was only options available.
