I've tried this a bit more in a virtual environment ...

These above are pure refactors which are IMO worth keeping, so somebody,
please review.

(self) NACK to those above 'host_cdrom' doesn't work with /dev/sg* as it
doesn't detect that its a generic device for passthrough. Using
'host_device' is needed here, so the code we have currently is correct.

I've tried this in nested virtual environment and the passthrough works
fine for me.

daggs,

I need to start over, could you please post the following info. (please
gather it again, so that it's all consistent):

host OS side:

libvirt version
lsblk
lsscsi
VM XML file
VM command line

guest OS side:

lsblk
lsscsi
lspci

thanks!
