[PATCH 00/21] block: publish backup-top filter

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

Hi all!

We have image fleecing scheme to export point-in-time state of active
disk (iotest 222):


                                      backup(sync=none)
                     ┌───────────────────────────────────────┐
                     ▼                                       │
┌────────────┐     ┌────────────────┐  backing             ┌─────────────┐
│ NBD export │ ─── │ temp qcow2 img │ ───────────────────▶ │ active disk │
└────────────┘     └────────────────┘                      └─────────────┘
                                                             ▲
┌────────────┐                                               │
│ guest blk  │ ──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
└────────────┘                        


Actually, backup job inserts a backup-top filter, so in detail it looks
like:

                                      backup(sync=none)
                     ┌───────────────────────────────────────┐
                     ▼                                       │
┌────────────┐     ┌────────────────┐  backing             ┌─────────────┐
│ NBD export │ ─── │ temp qcow2 img │ ───────────────────▶ │ active disk │
└────────────┘     └────────────────┘                      └─────────────┘
                     ▲                                       ▲
                     │ target                                │
                     │                                       │
┌────────────┐     ┌────────────────┐  backing               │
│ guest blk  │ ──▶ │   backup-top   │ ───────────────────────┘
└────────────┘     └────────────────┘

And job does nothing here. In a new blockdev world user is intended to
operate on node level, and insert/remove filters by hand. Let's get rid
of job in the scheme:

┌────────────┐     ┌────────────────┐  backing             ┌─────────────┐
│ NBD export │ ─── │ temp qcow2 img │ ───────────────────▶ │ active disk │
└────────────┘     └────────────────┘                      └─────────────┘
                     ▲                                       ▲
                     │ target                                │
                     │                                       │
┌────────────┐     ┌────────────────┐  backing               │
│ guest blk  │ ──▶ │   backup-top   │ ───────────────────────┘
└────────────┘     └────────────────┘


The series prepares qom-set to make possible inserting filters above
root node (patches 01-04), rename backup-top to copy-before-write, do
other preparations for publishing the filter, and finally publish it,
add qapi interface and test new fleecing scheme in 222.
