feat: add an option to pass an entire raw disk

[dsancheznet]

I'd like to pass an entire hard disk to a Sonoma virtual machine. In virtual-machine-manager I use the following code:

<disk type='block' device='disk'>
  <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none'/>
  <source dev='/dev/disk/by-partuuid/d8b63353-34n6-6587-ac07-810mdf36d544'/>
  <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
  <boot order='2'/>
  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x05' slot='0x00' function='0x0'/>
</disk>

How could I accomplish that with quickemu?

Best regards D.Sánchez

Isn't this same as #726?

No, I did not explain correctly, I'm afraid.

I don't want to use a qcow2 disk but a raw device ( a passthrough ) such as /dev/sda or /dev/sdb... As if the device were connected bare metal.

Best regards

Sadly, this is not in scope for Quickemu as it is designed to be run by unprivileged users. Connecting to block devices of attached disks requires privileged access.
