[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/3] Add -blockdev command line option

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

This series adds an option that is directly mapped to the blockdev-add QMP
command. It works more or less like -drive, except that it doesn't create a
BlockBackend (creating just a BDS without a BB is impossible with -drive) and
doesn't support legacy options.

Depends on Dan's "[PATCH v13 0/6] QAPI/QOM work for non-scalar object
properties".

v3:
- Some more documentation improvements [Max]

v2:
- Fix uninitialised use of options variable [Eric]
- Use qapi_free_BlockdevOptions() instead of dealloc visitor [Eric]
- Improved documentation to mention dotted syntax, explain use of
  -blockdev with -device, include examples and default values [Eric]

Kevin Wolf (3):
  block: Add '-blockdev' command line option
  doc: Document generic -blockdev options
  doc: Document driver-specific -blockdev options
