Currently we only model a virtual machine board (the -machine
type=virt parameter) which has a UART, a flash, an RTC, and a bunch of
virtio-mmio channelse.
Once we either emulate a real aarch64 board (with whatever peripherals
it may have) or add a PCI controller to the virt board, then you can
choose whatever storage the real board has or start doing interesting
things like plugging in a scsi controller to your PCI controller on
the virt board or whatever else you desire.
I am very interested in having a PCI controller on the virt board to be
able to do some testing of "-device pci-assign" and "-device vfio-pci".
I noticed that Alvise Rigo (ccd) had sent some patches out to the
qemu-devel list July 11th that seem to add a generic pci controller.
But as Joel points out, VirtIO is likely to get you the best
performance and is the most convenient method.

Great. VirtIO works for me. Thanks for your help folks!
Is there is any other way to add virtual disk, more like a traditional
disk to qemu-system-aarch64? For example IDE disk or SATA disk or
maybe as a SCSI disk?
