IMHO it would be nicer to detach the command line generator
code from any use of sysfs in this case.
Instead of having QEMU call virSCSIDeviceGetSgName() directly,
pass in a callback for it to use to resolve the device path.
eg
typedef char *(*qemuGetSCSIDevice)(const char *adapter,
unsigned int bus,
unsigned int target,
unsigned int unit);
the qemuProcessStart code can pass in an impl of that callback
which calls virSCSIDeviceGetSgName(), while the test suite
can pass in an impl which returns a hard-coded device string.
