A library is not necessarily a problem.

What would be a probably is if the library maintains guest visible 
state.  There are a lot of advantages to keeping qemu as the sole 
maintainer of guest visible state as it simplifies things like live 
migration.  More importantly, it allows us to do things like Avi's 
suggested security sandboxing using seccomp().  For that to work, we 
need to make sure that we can isolate any code that interacts directly 
with the guest.
