That would be great.  I'm interested in running OpenBSD not Linux and
ahci cant't map the interrupt with qemu (does on pci ecam + ahci on an
overdrive 1000), and nvme turns out to hang when mounting the root
filesystem.

Would be nice to be able to replace using edk2 ovmf for booting off
virtio storage.
