``redirdev``
The ``redirdev`` element is the main container for describing redirected
devices. ``bus`` must be "usb" for a USB device. An additional attribute
- ``type`` is required, matching one of the supported `serial
- device <#elementsConsole>`__ types, to describe the host side of the tunnel;
- ``type='tcp'`` or ``type='spicevmc'`` (which uses the usbredir channel of a
- SPICE graphics device (See `Graphical framebuffers`_)) are typical. The redirdev
- element has an optional sub-element ``<address>`` which can tie the device to
- a particular controller. Further sub-elements, such as ``<source>``, may be
- required according to the given type, although a ``<target>`` sub-element is
- not required (since the consumer of the character device is the hypervisor
- itself, rather than a device visible in the guest).

``boot``
Specifies that the device is bootable. The ``order`` attribute determines the
order in which devices will be tried during boot sequence. The per-device
possible to tunnel all requests through a secondary character device to a
third-party provider (which may in turn be talking to a smartcard or using
three certificate files). In this mode of operation, an additional attribute

sub-elements, such as ``<source>``, may be required according to the given
attribute which takes the value "io", "on" or "off". At present, it's only
applicable to the bhyve's "gop" video model type ( :since:`Since 3.5.0` )
