Should we split this into a different series, since it is
non-controversial (unrelated to the rest of the series' impact on
child-node op-blockers), and useful for libvirt to turn on active
commit?  The rest of the series lets libvirt turn on relative backing
chain work, but we might as well get the easy part into the tree now.
