Huh so Cirrus CI is failing...it would seem the Go version being installed there is older than Lima's minimum? Lima's |

This adds support for using virtiofs to mount filesystems on Linux hosts, via QEMU's vhost-user-fs-pci device + the Rust implementation of virtiofsd. In a simple "benchmark" running sha256sum on a copy of the Windows 11 ARM64 VHDK (because it's a large file I randomly had lying around): - reverse-sshfs took ~21s - 9p took ~13-15s - virtiofs took ~6-7s (For comparison, running it directly on the host system took ~5s.) This is marked as "experimental" because it has undergone testing by...me and relies on additional tools installed other than just QEMU. Unfortunately, this does *not* include support for DAX, because that's not merged into upstream QEMU yet, making it rather difficult to test. Ref. lima-vm#20.
