If you don't mind, I'd add a specific example to the commit message:

$ qemu-img create -f raw /tmp/backing.raw 64M
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -F raw -b /tmp/backing.raw /tmp/test.qcow2
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
  -blockdev driver=file,filename=/tmp/backing.raw,node-name=backing \
  -blockdev 
driver=qcow2,file.driver=file,file.filename=/tmp/test.qcow2,node-name=root,backing=backing
qemu-system-x86_64: -blockdev 
driver=qcow2,file.driver=file,file.filename=/tmp/test.qcow2,node-name=root,backing=backing:
 Could not open backing file: Cannot reference an existing block device with 
additional options or a new filename

Looks good to me.
