An fd as a qdev property seems like a bad idea to me.
What is your concern?
qdev properties are supposed to represent device tunables. A file
descriptor is not a tunable.
It's like passing the tap device fd via qdev to an e1000.
I'm not sure I have a better suggestion though.
Anything else requires inventing some new commandline options and monitor
comnmands (-pcidevice anyone? ;-). I'm not sure the benefit, esp with
hopes of moving to uio.
Yeah, I think device passthrough is going to require new command line
syntax to be more qemu friendly...
