Maybe there's a small bit of API missing here on QQuickWindow, to 
specify the viewport that Qt Quick should use when rendering on a FBO? 
(I'd suggest to open a feature request for this, should be relatively 
simple to implement...).

Given the codepath that you pasted, there seems to be no way for a 
custom glViewport in there. And I wouldn't recommend using QSGEngine, 
the effort is definitely not worth it here.
