As long as qemu can accept a machine config _and_ -drive file=foo (and
monitor commands to add/remove devices), libvirt could merge by simply
calling qemu with whatever additional command line options or monitor
commands modify the config, then dump the new config.
That way, virtio would not have to deal with that complexity. It
would be written in one place: qemu.
Or better, a utility: qemu-machine-config.
