There isn't any way with qemu+ssh unfortunately, it spawns an external
ssh process and we can't really control interaction with it. Dan
explained it a bit here before:

Nowadays there's also qemu+libssh which can be combined with openAuth to
do password callback handling, but I haven't tried it myself
