Ingo suggested kernel config option to allow booting from 9p (similarly
to NFS), but thats not needed at the moment - we can boot 9p just as any
other fs if we name our virtio transport right.

We can add a more generic kernel parameter that will mount simple
filesystem[s] after mounting rootfs (something like the root= option,
but for non-root systems).
