No, QEMU passes the raw messages to the backend daemon running in host userspace (which shares a socket with qemu). The backend understands the virtio/vhost protocols and so won't be required to change at all if we move from Qemu to something else. And that's what we (Linaro) are looking to do here with Project Stratos.
Note that this is completely different from my approach that I've posted in autumn last year. Viresh's protocol hasn't much in common with mine.
That's why we have a thing called standard. And AFAIU virtio API/ABIs should be officially registered and standardized.
