other than the comments on individual patches nothing here jumped out at
me for the backend part, I haven't looked at the front-end.

some things that would be nice to consider/follow-up with:
- add a hotplug feature (set up all the machinery, even if no virtiofs
  is configured yet, then add/remove shares at runtime?)
- this would maybe allow removing shares before
  live-migrating/savevm-ing
- keep an eye on upstream live-migration support for shared backing dirs
- implement pve-container support via bind mounts
