We can make it 100% guest configuration. Let's add the same whitelist as the kernel to QEMU's scsi-block/scsi-generic as well. This way, libvirt will be able to start domains with different settings as long as QEMU supports the new property (let's call it scsi-block.privileged). I can add it to 1.4.
