Suppose I create a set that contains two fds, one O_RDONLY and another O_RDWR; and that the current qemu_open() is requesting O_RDONLY. It feels like we would want to get the O_RDONLY fd returned, even if it comes later in the set, since it is nominally safer. That is, I wonder if this should really be implemented as an iteration over the set that selects the best possible match, where more than one fd can match, but at the end of the iteration, we have the closest match possible, rather than the first (possibly inexact) match.

Currently, in order to use a file descriptor that resides in an fd set, the access mode flag of the qemu_open() call has to be an exact match of the access mode flag of an fd in the requested fd set. This patch lightens up that restriction. For example, if QEMU attempts to qemu_open() "/dev/fdset/2" with O_RDONLY or O_WRONLY, and an fd in fd set 2 has O_RDWR, the call will now be successful.
