Correct?
Yes! The main purpose is to emulate zoned storage only for the zoned device files. Right now, QEMU sees those as regular block devices. > PATCH 1 adds a new block block device driver 'zoned_host_device', and > PATCH 9 exposes it in QAPI. This is for passing through a zoned host > device, correct? Yes! It allows the guest os see zoned host device. It is still in development. Maybe the implementations will change later.
