I don't think those questions make senses. What "sort of things" ? Which
"options", qemu command line/qmp options or user facing options?

In anycase, I don't think I know enough about libvirt (even as a user)
to be able to respond to those questions, but they would probably not
have exposed -usbdevice to users, like we do.
