I do not think there was a discussion where we decided to deliberately not support it. But I guess, what advantage there is in letting an external helper manage a <controller/> ? I though, vhost-user-* is ideal for individual devices rather than controllers. Meanwhile, for testing purposes (definitely NOT production), you can use qemu:command line passthrough: https://libvirt.org/kbase/qemu-passthrough-security.html Michal
