Subject: Bisected regression: guix system vm fails with --share option
Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2025 15:00:54 -0500

Hello,

Since commit 9939677d15592acb8663162af8eab3d33f4831db, which changed
handling of Qemu options in `/gnu/system/vm.scm`, `guix system vm` fails
if the `--share` option is used.

```console
$ mkdir -p /tmp/share
$ guix time-machine --commit=9939677d15592acb8663162af8eab3d33f4831db --
system vm --share=/tmp/share /tmp/config.scm

Using the following `config.scm`:

```scm
(use-modules (gnu bootloader))
(use-modules (gnu bootloader grub))
(use-modules (gnu system file-systems))

(operating-system
 (bootloader (bootloader-configuration
              (bootloader grub-bootloader)
              (targets '("/dev/vda"))
              (terminal-inputs '(console serial))
              (terminal-outputs '(console serial))
              (timeout 1)))
 (file-systems (cons (file-system
                      (mount-point "/")
                      (device "/dev/vda1")
                      (type "ext4")) %base-file-systems))
 (host-name "guix")
 (kernel-arguments (cons "console=ttyS0" %default-kernel-arguments))
