I am not sure how usually libvirt deals with these cases, but to me it
seems like that we should use the "stable" attribute name; or just
postpone this series/feature.

it is the name given to the MTP share on the guest, I see it displayed
in the guest, at least Nautilus shows it.
Is the use of 'root'/'x-root' mandatory? Is it something where we can
commit to only a stable subset of the interface, with no way to name the
root, and extend it later?
