We don't test the virtio frontend, but the blockdev backend, so we don't care
what we use here.
Sort of, see for example the iothreads which, with your patch, would not
be covered anymore on s390.
Aliases simplify the code...
Aliases are not deprecated but... let's say despised, because of the
special casing they add. But yes, the code simplification from your
patch is hard to brush away.
So I agree, since you have already mostly written the patches let's just
complete them.
