But we also have to consider the case where a single device exposes multiple types of capabilities.I think we already agreed to move to a bitmap model to handle that.I still think this is best done via properties, rather than as a separate feature.
Properties really don't fit here IMO. Property values belong to a device *instance*, not to a device *driver*. If you stick two e1000 network cards into your virtual machine both instances will have different pci bus and mac addresses. They wouldn't have different device capabilities though.
