Yes. As general interface, it may not work so well, but as test
interface, it works quite well and useful.
Do we have any mechanism to add a test only interface?
I'd like to see what Luiz/Markus think but definitely only a human
monitor interface and probably prefix the command with a 'x-' prefix
to indicate that it's not a supported interface.
Automated testing will want to use qmp.
Yes. The main usage of the interface is automated testing.
That's precisely what the command should not be used for.
You can't assume a gpa -> hva mapping is consistent in an external
application. If you want to implement an interface for testing, you
have to push more of the logic into QEMU to avoid the race.

The documentation should be very clear about the limitations of the
interface and the intended use-case.
Perhaps a { execute: 'enable-version-specific-commands', arguments:
['pfa2hva'] } ?
