Backport
This PR is auto-generated from #11864 to be assessed for backporting due to the inclusion of the label backport/1.3.x.
WARNING automatic cherry-pick of commits failed. Commits will require human attention.
The below text is copied from the body of the original PR.
For QEMU the options
-drive file=image.img
and-drive file=image.img,if=ide
are identical.This change will use the second variant as default and allow to define an image file using the virtio driver inside of the VM.
Using this driver should improve the disk IO a lot.
