The blueprint currently seems libvirt specific to me? Is there a common - perhaps abstracted - interface that we can provide through Nova / image meta-data which will be implemented by each driver in their own way?
Otherwise I can see a bigger mess of metadata values where libvirt uses enable_unix_channels, Xen uses enable_cross_domain_channel - each with their corresponding and custom ways of configuring the behaviour.

Berrange; OpenStack Development Mailing List Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [Nova] [Libvirt] Virtio-Serial support for Nova libvirt driver Hi Daniel, I will modify the blueprint as per your suggestions. Actually, we can use state_path in nova.conf if set or the default location. Thanks, -Ravi. On Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 1:57 AM, Daniel P.

IMHO we really do not want this exposed to end users - particularly not whuen you are proposing the ability to set arbitrary file paths for the UNIX sockets against images. That woudl be a security flaw as proposed in that doc.
