Does that mean we want it to look more like:

{ 'command': 'blockdev-group-snapshot-sync',
  'data': { 'devlist': [ 'SnapshotDev' ] } }

and used like:

{ "execute": "blockdev-group-snapshot-sync",
  "arguments": { "devlist": [{ "device": "ide-hd0" ...},
                             { "device": "ide-hd1" ...}] } }

I don't quite care what syntax we use, as long as we settle on something
soon, because I'm trying to code up libvirt to generate this new monitor
command, and need to know what syntax it will use.
