Are you implementing a different protocol just for the sake of QEMU, in
other words, and forwarding from that protocol to your proprietary code?

If that is what you are doing, you don't need at all a vxhs driver in
QEMU.  Just implement NBD or iSCSI on your side, QEMU already has
drivers for that.
