[Qemu-devel] [PATCH -V3 26/32] virtio-9p: Create a commandline option -fsdev

["Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com>

This patch creates a new command line option named -fsdev to hold any file
system specific information.

The option will currently hold the following attributes:

-fsdev fstype id=id,path=path_to_share

The only option for fstype currently is local.
