The XML parser (or verifier) in libvirt seems to support only Linux

Can anyone let us know how libvirt supports disk device names for
non-Linux VMs?
We are developing a new hypervisor driver for a non-Linux VM, which uses a
different device naming convention from Linux, something like 0A80. 0A81,
0A82.
Thank you so much.
As noted in the previous thread you've started, the name used here
doesn't necessarily map 1:1 to guest device names.
As of such you can treat it as an opaque identifier with format
specified by libvirt.
In case you'd want to change the format libvirt accepts here, it has
quite a few places which need to be changed so I'd like to discourage
trying to do so.
