[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V4 0/7] Giving names to BlockDriverState graph nodes

["Benoît Canet" <benoit@irqsave.net>]

This partial series start to add some node-name manipulation from QMP.
In particular it will allow to take snapshots of quorum files.
I propose reviewing it and merging if it's ok so quorum can be enabled and
merged and I could start enable other block filter feature while writing next
features. (Quorum file repair, crypto, multi bs block throttling)

v4:
    s/prepare/prepare for/ [Eric]
    s/followings/following/ [Eric]
    fix option memory leak [Eric]
    new command to get named bs name list [Eric]
    * struct -> *struct [Eric/Fam]
    Shorter comparison [Eric]
    1.8 -> 2.0 [Eric/Fam]
    More commments to explain authorization method [Fam]
    Add a don't care result to snapshot authorization method [Fam]
    Add #optional [Eric]


Best regards

Benoît
