It is probably not necessary to add a new IF_ constant. Would this work:

  -drive if=none,id=emmc0,file=test.img,format=raw
  -device emmc,...,drive=emmc0

Or the more modern:

  -blockdev node-name=emmc0,driver=file,filename=test.img
  -device emmc,...,drive=emmc0

?

(The syntax might need small tweaks but is shows the general idea.)
