It doesn't appear to be using any kernel modules.  I would have
expected to see output such as this:

  supermin: internal insmod virtio.ko

It seems as if you might not be setting SUPERMIN_MODULES; or maybe you
don't have any modules that match the internal list in supermin:

Anyhow, virtio-scsi definitely isn't working, as you can see from the
appliance kernel output.  You can force the direct backend to use
virtio-blk instead by editing the function src/launch-direct.c:
qemu_supports_virtio_scsi.
