I have some vague hope that switching USB controllers might help with problems we see on Jenkins when booting from USB (refs: #11588). This change requires upgrading the machine type as well, QEMU otherwise won't boot from this USB 3.0 controller. And while we're at it, let's migrate from IDE to SATA, in order to reflect better hardware Tails is being used with. Also, there are chances that more recent virtual hardware sees more testing these days, so it sounds potentially useful to "upgrade". Note that I've initially tried the more modern pc-q35-2.5 machine type, which worked fine when running the test suite on a sid host, but when running on Jessie the VM under testing crashed when logging into GNOME. I'll file a ticket about trying this again once Stretch is out.
