Hi,
In terms of QMP client code, you just do:
qom-set /path/to/usb-controller.slave /some/other/device
Lacks notification. usb-controller doesn't notice that you have plugged
in some usb device and thus can't raise an IRQ to notify the guest ...
Properties will have flags. One of those flags makes the property mutable only
while the device isn't realized.
This is a case where the property is mutable during realize. You wouldn't use a
normal link here. You would use a "hotpluggable link" which would have a notify
hook.
This works because all properties are get/set through an accessor interface and
there's a rich error interface.
The original QOM series I posted had this logic in it.
