+ * # Hiding a device #
+ * To hide a device, a DeviceListener function should_be_hidden() needs to
+ * be registered.
+ * It can be used to defer adding a device and therefore hide it from the
+ * guest. The handler registering to this DeviceListener can save the QOpts
+ * passed to it for re-using it later and must return that it wants the device
+ * to be/remain hidden or not. When the handler function decides the device
+ * shall not be hidden it will be added in qdev_device_add() and
+ * realized as any other device. Otherwise qdev_device_add() will return early
+ * without adding the device. The guest will not see a "hidden" device
+ * until it was marked don't hide and qdev_device_add called again.
