I don't think we should shift this mess into the kernel.. We have a wide range of things now that the orchestration must do in order to prepare that are fairly device specific. I understand in K8S configurations the preference is using operators (aka user space drivers) to trigger these things. Supplying a few extra qemu command line options seems minor compared to all the profile and provisioning work that has to happen for other device types. Jason
