[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/1] QMP: add snapshot_blkdev command

[Jes . Sorensen]

From: Jes Sorensen <address@hidden>

Add QMP bits for snapshot_blkdev command. This is the same as
snapshot_blkdev in the human monitor. The command is synchronous.

In the future async commands and or a break down of the functionality
into multiple commands might be added.
