Have tested it with qemu-storage-daemon [1]:

$ qemu-storage-daemon \
    --chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/tmp/qmp.sock,server=on,wait=off \
    --monitor chardev=charmonitor \
    --blockdev driver=host_device,cache.direct=on,aio=native,filename=/dev/nullb0,node-name=disk0
\
    --export type=vduse-blk,id=vduse-test,name=vduse-test,node-name=disk0,writable=on
