Google Compute Engine VMs only support virtio-scsi disk devices #79

GCE has only one type of disk: virtio-scsi (from https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/tutorials/building-images#hardwaremanifest). We currently don't support this virtio device. This issue is tracking that effort.

Marking this as "help wanted" in the sense that its up for grabs for someone that needs the functionality. Current goals are concentrated on targets other than virtio.

I've offered a $100 bounty for this. Perhaps others will join me: https://www.bountysource.com/issues/37097694-google-compute-engine-vms-only-support-virtio-scsi-disk-devices

It might be better to implement the virtio SCSI device in pure OCaml and introduce hooks into Solo5 to support it. But your call really.
