I've tested the bellow on libvirt 6.8.0, I wasn't able to get it to work, with the same entry as the example, e.g.:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi' managed='yes'>
<source>
<adapter name='cdrom'/>
<address bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</source>
<readonly/>
<address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/>
</hostdev>
I get this error:
error: XML error: SCSI host device doesn't support managed mode.
if I mark the managed as no (like other pci pass-through devices I have in the vm), I get this error:
error: internal error: Cannot parse adapter 'cdrom'
