virtio-9p: Create a commandline option -fsdev
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
where
fstype: Type of the file system.
id: Identifier used to refer to this fsdev
path: The path on the host that is identified by this fsdev.

+The general form of a File system device option is:
+@table @option
+
+@item -fsdev @var{fstype} ,id=@var{id} [,@var{options}]
+@findex -fsdev
+Fstype is one of:
+@option{local},
+The specific Fstype will determine the applicable options.
+
+Options to each backend are described below.
+
+@item -fsdev local ,id=@var{id} ,path=@var{path}

+Create a file-system-"device" for local-filesystem.
+
+@option{local} is only available on Linux.
+
+@option{path} specifies the path to be exported. @option{path} is required.
