Re: [PATCH] Support x-vga=on for PCI host passthrough devices

It is *definitely* less hacky to use <qemu:commandline> than to carry your own local patch on top of the libvirt source, which would force you to always build your own libvirt binaries, and rebase your patch every time upstream libvirt changed code that touched the same place. Although <qemu:commandline> isn't "Supported" (Capital "S" - in the sense that a vendor providing paid technical support for a system using libvirt won't officially commit themselves to solving any problem you may have associated with use of <qemu:commandline>, and the options you provide there *could* disappear from qemu), it is "supported" (small "s" - in the sense that libvirt has no plans to remove <qemu:commandline>, and it is used by other people so if it becomes broken it will surely get fixed). Using <qemu:commandline> will take 10 minutes of your time right now, and then you'll never have to think about it ever again (until/unless QEMU removes the x-vga option). Using your own custom build of libvirt that carries a locally written patch will continue to be a burden every time you upgrade libvirt until the end of time.
