I thought there was rough consensus on having separate 'model'
and 'protocol' attributes, with the former using the same values
as other VirtIO devices, but looking through the archives I've
found

  https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-January/msg00799.html

where you said you were going this route for v2... Sorry I didn't
notice earlier and thus didn't have a chance to yell :)

I think being consistent with other devices is more important than,
for lack of a better term, "marketing" virtio-fs.

Moreover, management applications like virt-manager and Cockpit
will probably present this as a single drop-down to users, so it
hardly matters that it ultimately ends up being translated to two
separate attributes and what the corresponding values are.
