sysroot.mount: About to execute: /usr/bin/mount virtfs:foo /sysroot -o ro

Describe the bug virtfs module does not mount 9p filesystem.

Distribution used Fedora Rawhide.

Dracut version dracut-105-3.fc43

Init system systemd.

To Reproduce Initrd is generated with dracut -f --add virtfs /boot/initrd.img $KERNELRELEASE in GitHub actions runner. And then booted with root=virtfs:foo. With rd.debug I don't see mount-virtfs being run or any mount hooks being called.

grep -e virtfs -e 9p  log1
...

Obviously systemd will not be able to mount virtfs:foo. Then boot falls into Emergency Shell. The GitHub actions is not interactive which complicates the debug.

Expected behavior 9pfs mounted.
