2c0f47e75c meson: Always use the / operator to join paths
This is the preferred way to do it, but there were a few
instances in which some of the path components had embedded
slashes instead.

e8863b91fb conf: require target for external virtiofsd
When adding support for externally launched virtiofsd,
I was too liberal and did not require a target.

But the target is required, because it's passed to the
QEMU device, not to virtiofsd.

Once this commit merges, the above wiki should point to this kbase

NB: I've intentionally left out the example for pull-based full backups.
I'll tackle it once QMP `x-blockdev-reopen` comes out of experimental
mode in upstream QEMU.  Then pull-based can be described for both full
and and differntial backups.

Overall, future documents should cover:

   - full backups using both push- and pull-mode
   - differential backups using both push- and pull-mode

b44f35e2cf docs: kbase: sev: Adjust the claims that virtio-blk doesn't work
Using virtio-blk with SEV on host kernels prior to 5.1 didn't work
because of SWIOTLB limitations and the way virtio has to use it over
DMA-API for SEV (see [1] for detailed info). That is no longer true, so
reword the kbase article accordingly.

For reference, these are the upstream kernel commits lifting the
virtio-blk limitation:

  * util.udev doesn't exist.
