This series acts as some kind of alternative or v5 to the "block/json:
Add JSON protocol driver" series. It makes bdrv_open() parse filenames
prefixed by "json:" as JSON objects (discarding the prefix beforehand)
and then use the resulting QDict as the options for the block device to
be opened with a NULL filename.

The purpose of this is that it may sometimes be desirable to specify
options for a block device where only a filename can be given, e.g., for
backing files. Using this should obviously be the exception, but it is
nice to have if actually needed.


After having written this series, I do indeed agree that it is much
nicer than the old version of having a dedicated "virtual" block driver
for this purpose.

Patches 1 and 2 are taken directly from the block/json v3, patch 4 has
been enriched by an additional scenario (options given directly and
through the filename) and its comments have been adapted to the new
implementation.


v2:
 - Detect when options are given both directly and through the filename
   and report this as an error to the user [Eric]
   A corresponding test case has been added to patch 4
 - Update comments in the test added by patch 4 to match the new
   implementation [Eric]
 - The -g flag is no longer required in patch 4 (as the filename is no
   longer relevant for format detection, since it will be dropped after
   it has been parsed), so drop it from patch 4
