Thanks, but I'm actually referring to per VM configuration data. I'm trying
to get some custom configuration strings passed to the hypervisor when a VM

I was hoping that somehow I could read the other_config section from the
hypervisor, but maybe it's only possible to pass data after starting the
guest with an event channel?
