Changes from v4->v5:

* Rebased on master
* Fixed commit log typos / stale paragraphs (Eric)
* Fixed comment typo (Eric)
* Added Eric's remaining R-b's


Changes from v3->v4:

* Rebased on master
* Dropped overlay pointers, Eric's concerns are correct
* Require "device" for all arguments, in light of the above,
  so we can find the active layer in all cases.
* Simplify more operations!
* Dropped Eric's Reviewed-by: on patches 3,5,6
  Added Eric's Reviewed-by: on patches 8,9


Changes from v2->v3:

* Add Eric's reviewed-by
* Addressed Eric's review comments
* Dropped HMP changes
* Added helper function for setting the overlay, and
  set the overlay in bdrv_append()
* Use bs->backing_file instead of bs->backing_hd->filename in block_stream 

Using node-names instead of filenames for block job operations
over QMP is a superior method of identifying the block driver
images to operate on, as it removes all pathname ambiguity.

This series modifies block-commit and block-stream to use node-names,
and creates a new QAPI command to allow stand-alone backing file
changes on an image file.

So that node-names can be used as desired for all block job
operations, this series also auto-generates node-names for every
BDS.  User-specified node-names will override any autogenerated

Jeff Cody (10):
  block: Auto-generate node_names for each BDS entry
  block: add helper function to determine if a BDS is in a chain
  block: simplify bdrv_find_base() and bdrv_find_overlay()
  block: make 'top' argument to block-commit optional
  block: Accept node-name arguments for block-commit
  block: extend block-commit to accept a string for the backing file
  block: add ability for block-stream to use node-name
  block: add backing-file option to block-stream
  block: Add QMP documentation for block-stream
  block: add QAPI command to allow live backing file change
