Even if we don't do relabelling, we'll still need more than just
policy work I believe.
If we assume a new "virtiofsd_t" SELinux type.
Ff QEMU is launched svirt_t:s0:c123,c532, we will need to
explicitly spawn virtiofsd with the matching MCS category
eg virtiofsd_t:s0:c123,c532. The policy should be written such
that the UNIX domain socket used for comms between QEMU and
virtiofsd requires this matching MCS category label.
This ensures that QEMU Guest-A can't connect to a virtiofsd used
by QEMU Guest-B and vica-verca.
