What are you currently unable to do

QEMU appears to support passing SMBIOS type 11 fields via path=/file/with/contexts.txt in addition to value=<inline string>. Incus currently uses the later when configuring systemd-creds for a VM (#2545), but should really use the former if possible. This would help eliminate possible issues with maximum command length limits as well as prevent a random user on the host system running ps to snoop on values being passed into a VM.
