Not done a proper code review yet but just a docs point...

Can you describe the new object type in qemu-options.hx - look for the
existing entry related to tls-creds-x509

Also in qemu-doc.texi at approx

  "@section TLS setup for network services"

we'll need something added related to PSK to describe how to set it
up. I guess we'll want to put what's there already under an "x509"
section, and add a PSK section

Daniel
