The next (and final) patch in this pull request added JSON syntax for
-device, so we can actually have proper list properties now that are
accessed with the normal list visitors. I suppose some integration with
the qdev property system is still missing, but on the QOM level it could
be used.
In the ideal world, we would also be able to replace the human CLI
syntax so that JSON isn't required for this, but doing this in reality
would probably cause new compatibility problems - though libvirt has
been using JSON for a while, so I guess it wouldn't mind an incompatible
change of human syntax.
