Since 0d70656afded, it starts to access the sysfs files to build
the qemu command line (by virSCSIDeviceGetSgName, which is find

is no way to work around, qemu wants to see the scsi generic device
like "/dev/sg6" anyway.

And I think it's not only the place which needs to access sysfs
files when building qemu command line in future.

As a solution, this introduces a new argument "sysfs_root" for
qemuBuildCommandLine, and thus the tests can feed the fake sysfs
root to it.
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);

Nice idea.


the qemuProcessStart code can pass in an impl of that callback

I guess you meant qemuBuildCommandLine or so, tests won't
call  qemuProcessStart. to start the guest.

which calls  virSCSIDeviceGetSgName(), while the test suite
can pass in an impl which returns a hard-coded device string.
In fact there are probably other cases where we should pass in
callbacks like this to the QEMU command line builder. Instead of
adding many parameters to the API, we could provide a struct

Agreed, many params is always not good. .

containing all the various callbacks needed in one go.
