I don't think we want to support that last in QEMU.  Generally you want
process isolation, not shared library plugins - definitely not host
side - VMM is just to sensitive to allow random plugins -
and maybe not guest side either.

I'm at a conference tomorrow but I hope to complete review
of the proposal and respond by end of week.

Thanks!
