Hm, as I can see in the schema, type="mount" is default. That's what I
see in virDomainFSDefParseXML() @ src/conf/domain_conf.c as well.

I also check that in the driver, and there's a test for it:

tests/bhyvexml2argvdata/bhyvexml2argv-fs-9p-unsupported-type.xml

Are you referring to something different?
