What happens with the target dir?

virtio-fs has no way to pass the target dir into the guest.
Out-of-band methods exist: qemu-guest-agent could be used to mount the
file system.  Another approach is to add a uevent to the virtiofs.ko
guest driver and let udev configuration decide what to do (e.g.
automount under /run/media/virtio-fs/$TAG or similar).
