@globalc@chaos.social Passing USB device throguh, rather than serial specific should be easy; method 1) In virtmanager hit Add Hardware, select 'USB Host device' and select your USB serial converter. That's it! 2) Use the virt-manager 'Virtual Machine->Redirect USB device' option.
(I could swear there's a 3rd option somewhere!) For both make sure the VM already has an emulated USB.

@penguin42@mastodon.org.uk The function I need is not exactly a passtrough in this case: I have nothing connected to the host I want to pass trough. It's more QEMU emulating for me, and the guest OS connecting to the emulated device. I heard the functionality is potentially not enabled on all QEMU builds.. I think I saw it on Fedora, but then infusing it into virsh so that executes qemu-kvm correctly is another thing.
