What do you mean by "all the aspects"? Of course it can't handle nesting well, passthrough doesn't work when your hardware has N levels abstractions but nesting is M levels. Trap and emulation is a must. And exposing the whole device to the guest drivers will have security implications, your proposal has demonstrated that you need a workaround for FLR at least. For non standard device we don't have choices other than passthrough, but for standard devices we have other choices.
