Node device enumeration with udev
Dave Allan posted[1] "a fully functional version of the node device udev[2] based backend, incorporating all the feedback from earlier revisions." "...I have also included a patch removing the DevKit backend."
Also see FWN#146 "Host Device Enumeration API"[3] for some coverage of the host device enumeration API.

Libvirt QEMU driver thread safety rules
In a characteristically long and detailed post Daniel Berrange laid[1] donw the law on thread safety rules for the Qemu driver[2].
"This document describes how thread safety is ensured throughout the QEMU driver. The criteria for this model are:
- Objects must never be exclusively locked for any pro-longed time
- Code which sleeps must be able to time out after suitable period
- Must be safe against dispatch asynchronous events from monitor"
