So ... I see we have virtio nowish.  I've started my hackery to make
some man(4) pages for this, but have some questions.  Doing some raw
QEMU things, I can't quite see how to get the virtio blk and net devices
working.

I've loaded the virtio drivers as modules.  Is this not going to work in
this case?  I don't see the virtio versions of disk devices in /dev so
I'm not sure what the problem here is.
