Please see my v2 patch series (you were CC'ed on it):
[PATCH v2 1/2] util - add automated ID generation utility
[PATCH v2 2/2] block: auto-generated node-names
The first patch is a qemu-wide utility to generate IDs.
The scheme seems to have some consensus, and a few r-b's (it is
also derived from this conversation thread).
The second patch is using it in the block layer, for node-names; it
should be trivial to see how to use it for qdev.
Would you like me to roll a v3, with a qdev patch added in?
Thanks,
Jeff
