Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 13/13] blockdev: New -blockdev to define a host

Existing -drive defines both host and guest part.  To make it work
with -device, we created if=none.  But all this does is peel off guest
device selection.  The other guest properties such as geometry,
removable vs. fixed media, and serial number are still in the wrong
place.

Instead of overloading -drive even further, create a new, clean option
to define a host block device.  -drive stays around unchanged for
command line convenience and backwards compatibility.

This is just a first step.  Future work includes:

* A set of monitor commands to go with it.

* Let device model declare media removable.  -drive has that in the
   host part, as media=(cdrom|floppy), but it really belongs to the
   guest part.

* Turn geometry into device properties.  This will also ensure proper
   range checking.  The existing range checking for -drive can't work
   with if=none.

* Make device models reject error actions they don't support.  The
   existing check for -drive can't work with if=none.

* Like -drive, -blockdev ignores cache= silently when snapshot=on.  Do
   we really want that?

A good test of whether blockdev is an adequate replacement for -drive is to implement -drive in terms of -blockdev.

Of course, it's not clear how we translate from ,if=virtio to virtio-blk-pci in a machine neutral way.
