Hi Wido, Thanks. I've verified, virtio-scsi seems to work for me. Qemu guest agent also works, I was able to write poc code to get rid of patchviasocket.py as well. Can you help review and test the PR?

Thoughts, comments? > We might want to look/verify that this works: - Running with VirtIO-SCSI under KVM (allows disk trimming) - Make sure the Qemu Guest Agent works If those two things work we can keep the footprint of the SSVM rather small.
