That would mean making snabb switch part of QEMU.

Just curious - not suggesting that this is practical - but what would that mean?

Is the important thing to keep all device implementations in the same source tree so that QEMU developers can take responsibility for everything working?

Or is it that the Snabb Switch code would need to execute inside the QEMU process at runtime?

Snabb Switch is actually reasonably embeddable: less than 1MB, single threaded, hardly makes any system calls. The one "big dependency" we have is LuaJIT (luajit.org) but that is routinely embedded in video games and such like.
