Not really - with a few exceptions like vhost-user and in KVM device
emulation all devices are emulated in the QEMU code base. As a result
the best way to maintain a device is to have it integrated upstream
(along with some tests to ensure it is working).
As you note there are various forks of QEMU that support device
modelling but none of these features have been merged upstream and would
likely need to assuage worries about such interfaces being used to avoid
GPL compliance.
What sort of devices are you looking to model? Are these existing
devices or experimental/research things?
