Sure, its not recommended to run QEMU as root, but we don't block that
either and I do regularly test with qemu running as root.

One way could be that virtiofsd tries to clear setuid bit after I/O
has finished. But that will be non-atomic operation and it is filled
with perils as it requires virtiofsd to know what all kernel will
do if this write has been done with CAP_FSETID dropped.

Is there a way for virtiofsd to know if qemu is running with CAP_FSETID
or not. If there is one, it might be reasonable to error out. If we
don't know, then we can't fail all the operations.

With DAX it is easily triggerable. User has to append to a setuid file
in virtiofs and this path will trigger.
I am fine with not supporting this patch but will also need a reaosonable
alternative solution.
