The virtio file system device transports Linux FUSE requests between a
FUSE daemon running on the host and the FUSE driver inside the guest.
The actual FUSE request definitions are not duplicated in the virtio
specification, similar to how virtio-scsi does not document SCSI
command details. FUSE request definitions are available here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/include/uapi/linux/fuse.h
This patch documents the core virtio file system device, which is
functional but lacks the DAX feature introduced in the next patch.
