So I guess in general it's not a safe thing to do. For instance, I'd be against moving all checks done at cmd line time to DefPostParse as they introduce TOCTOU problem. However, some checks (mostly semantic ones) can be done in post parse callbacks. For example, trying to plug a disk onto ISA bus will fail regardless of qemu caps. However, whether qemu supports VIRTIO_SCSI or not should not matter at define time as this might change after domain is defined. However, SCSI controllers have been around for quite some time, so unless somebody is upgrading from ancient qemu, we are safe.
