virtfs: allow a device id to be specified in the -virtfs option
When using a virtfs root filesystem, the mount_tag needs to be set to
/dev/root. This can be done long-hand as
-fsdev local,id=root,path=/path/to/rootfs,...
-device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=root,mount_tag=/dev/root
but the -virtfs shortcut cannot be used as it hard-codes the device identifier
to match the mount_tag, and device identifiers may not contain '/':
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -virtfs local,path=/foo,mount_tag=/dev/root,security_model=passthrough
qemu-system-x86_64: -virtfs local,path=/foo,mount_tag=/dev/root,security_model=passthrough: duplicate fsdev id: /dev/root
To support this case using -virtfs, we allow the device identifier to be
specified explicitly when the mount_tag is not suitable:
-virtfs local,id=root,path=/path/to/rootfs,mount_tag=/dev/root,...
