[libvirt] Tails bounty for supporting the 'removable' flag for USB disks

Hello, I'm part of the people developing the live system called Tails [1]. [1] https://tails.boum.org/ We are now preparing a bounties program to help developers work on upstream software and fix bugs or implement features needed for Tails. Daniel P. Berrange suggested we write to this list about it. More specifically, for our libvirt-based test suite, we need a way to emulate both removable and non-removable USB 2.0+ devices. This distinction is supported in QEMU since --device can receive an optional removable= property. So, what we lack is a way to tell libvirt to pass this or that value to QEMU for the removable= property of a given emulated USB 2.0+ device. For instance, on a Linux guest it controls the value of /sys/block/$dev/removable. We propose a USD $3000 bounty to implement this feature. We are already in contact with someone who is very interested in doing this work. Ticket: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=922495 Thanks for your work on libvirt!
