Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] 9p: add support for root file systems
This introduces a new kernel command-line option called 'v9fsroot='
which will tell the kernel to mount the root file system by
utilizing the 9p protocol.
This allows us to mount host folder as rootfs for guest linux in qemu.
Bellow is an example which mounts v9fs with tag 'r' as rootfs in qemu
guest via virtio transport.
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 1024 \
-virtfs local,path=$rootfs_dir,mount_tag=r,security_model=passthrough,id=r \
-kernel /path/to/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -nographic \
-append "root=/dev/v9fs v9fsroot=r,trans=virtio rw console=ttyS0 3"

v2:
o use pr_err instead of printk.
o ROOT_DEV is only set after checking.
o cleanup DEFAULT_MNT_OPTS.
o do not retry mount for fd and virtio transport.
