[SLOF] [PATCH 0/3] virtio-9p improvements

Here are three small patches with some improvements for virtio-9p:

1) Give a proper name to the 9p device tree node

2) Add support for virtio 1.0
   (that was fortunately pretty easy thanks to the good virtio 1.0
    infrastructure that Nikunj already added to libvirtio)

3) Some white space clean-ups

I've tested the virtio 1.0 9p code by adding the following parameters
to the QEMU command line:

 -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=fsdev0,mount_tag=hostshare,disable-legacy=on,disable-modern=off \
 -fsdev local,security_model=passthrough,id=fsdev0,path=/path/to/bootfolder

That means by using disable-legacy=on, I made sure that the 9p device
here only supports v1.0, and not the legacy layout anymore. Then at
the SLOF prompt, I was able to load some file a la:

 boot virtfs:ppc64.img
