[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 3/3] blockdev: Add dynamic module loading for block drivers

[Colin Lord <clord@redhat.com>]

From: Marc Mari <markmb@redhat.com>

Extend the current module interface to allow for block drivers to be
loaded dynamically on request. The only block drivers that can be
converted into modules are the drivers that don't perform any init
operation except for registering themselves.

In addition, only the protocol drivers are being modularized, as they
are the only ones which see significant performance benefits. The format
drivers do not generally link to external libraries, so modularizing
them is of no benefit from a performance perspective.

All the necessary module information is located in a new structure found in
module_block.h
