In the earlier discussion, virtio-blk and iSCSI were identified as
interesting protocols to be used with file descriptors in the future.
This patch would bind fd: protocol only to raw file interface to be
used by qcow2 etc. higher levels. I guess with small changes the
protocol could be made selectable. Maybe it's just changing command
line to format=virtio-blk or format=iscsi for those uses, though I
fear there may be a layering violation.

Considering the privilege separation side, this patch seems to be
somewhat orthogonal to that (I don't expect any command line passing
and parsing to happen between QEMU processes) but the low level fd
handling seems useful modulo the comments made by others.
