The virt board creates a collection of virtio-mmio transports,
so if you create just a backend on the command line (via
"-device virtio-scsi-device") it will be plugged into a
virtio-bus on a virtio-mmio transport.

You almost certainly didn't want to do this -- virtio-mmio
is only there for legacy reasons [it predates pci support
in the 'virt' board and the device-tree-driven kernel and
for a time it was the only way to do virtio].

You want to use virtio-pci, which is more flexible and has more
features (so either use -device virtio-scsi-pci, or use -device
virtio-scsi-device with -device virtio-pci and suitable id/bus
options to explicitly wire them together).
