Research direction

Start by reading the guest kernel command-line construction and Linux-specific configuration paths in libkrun. Check how the tsi_hijack_unix flag is passed through, then verify that Linux guests receive it while other platforms do not. The issue gives no file or test names, so locate the relevant entry point and tests before making changes.

Description

Since https://github.com/containers/libkrunfw/commit/52926f8115ece92f9a03f6c8b86a753f0bdf6206, tsi_hijack_unix won't be enabled by default, adding extra flag tsi_hijack_unix would be required to enable this. At least for containers, this will enable more fluent transition from crun to krun.
