I think Mac-On-Linux (or some other Mac virtualisation software, I don't
know these too much) has some drivers which are not virtio but a similar
paravirtualised driver that probably could be adapted. This may be easier
than writing a driver from scratch as the framework is already there, only
the way to talk to the hypervisor should be replaced (or the way it works
on MOL could be implemented in QEMU whichever is simpler). Not sure how
much work this would be, just an idea if someone wants to take a look and
try.
