After the refactoring that Markus is working on it won't refer to a
BlockDriverState, but to a BlockBackend. (And changes like this make
quite clear why the internals of the current block layer are not
suitable as a public API. The API needs to be defined in a separate
layer than can abstract such changes away.)

Yes, something like qblk that isn't tied to internals sounds better.
