This patch adds the final missing bits for support of
passing a serial/id string to a virtio-blk guest driver.
The guest-side component already exists in the virtio
driver, and has recently been reworked by Ryan to export
a /sys interface for retrival of the id from guest userland.

This series adds the minimal support to qemu and virtio_blk
to support passing of a virtio_blk serial id string from qemu
through the guest driver and to the guest userland.
This is derived in part from a patch set posted by Rusty some
time ago, but has been minimized to remove support for prior
