No. For VMs which use <qemu:commandline> we don't formally provide
support. I suggest that if you have a good use case for the attributes
below, you send patches adding the functionality to libvirt if you want
to have it on device hotplug.

Can you elaborate why? If the options are justifiably useful and qemu
upstream supports them there's nothing preventing that.
