Bug Description

To increase performance on virtual disk access, provide an option for each block device to pass it as virtio device at KVM startup.

For more information, check http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Boot_from_virtio_block_device

In particular, we should look into an option that replaces -hda=file with -drive=file,if=virtio

It is perhaps possible to maintain the same disk order, or specify a name for each block device passed this way to KVM
