Currently, QEMU always puts the node name of the root node there, so for
now you won't see backing file nodes in these events. But it's probably
a good idea to prepare libvirt for it anyway, maybe we can find a way to
have better error events later. The challenge in doing that is that the
error events are sent by the devices, not by the block node that
actually first encountered the error.
