Currently Bochs plugins APCI already begins with such C-language bindings.
But inside the device is C++ based and derives from Bochs device model. It
has the same log writer and debugging interface as any other Bochs module
but nothing more.
Could you look into the Bochs devices code and plugin code, I think you
could say how much it is compatible fro QEMU and if there is something that
we should consider to change ...

Well, not completely impossible, but it would require some really ugly
"glue" code. And, the glue would have to happen outside of QEMU (i.e.
like in the BOCHS code), to keep C++ out of QEMU.
To have a truly portable API, it should definitely have C language
"bindings". I'm sure this could be added to the BOCHS implementation
somehow if this is important.
