    Save xml to some location other than /etc/libvirt/.. and do all the
    commenting/uncommenting there. virsh define /path/to/vm.xml to use
    modified xml. You indeed are going the wrong direction. Even if
    libvirt does not expose some functionality via xml it is also
    possible to pass raw qemu flags. I needed it only for vga
    passtrhough, using efi firmware thats no longer needed (although
    libvirt might expose -vga via xml now, i dont know). Also unsure
    whats not working for you but even virt-manager exposes
    functionality to pass entire pci devices to vm. Be it sata or usb or
    whatever. If it is not working for you maybe correct solution would
    be figuring out pci passthrough and not reverting to a shellscript.<br>
