No recursion:

static BlockDriver *bdrv_do_find_format(const char *format_name)
{
    BlockDriver *drv1;

    QLIST_FOREACH(drv1, &bdrv_drivers, list) {
        if (!strcmp(drv1->format_name, format_name)) {
            return drv1;
        }
    }

    return NULL;
}

BlockDriver *bdrv_find_format(const char *format_name)
{
    BlockDriver *drv;
    size_t i;

    drv = bdrv_do_find_format(format_name);
    if (drv) {
        return drv;
    }

    /* The driver isn't registered, maybe we need to load a module */
    for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(block_driver_modules); ++i) {
        if (!strcmp(block_driver_modules[i].format_name, format_name)) {
            block_module_load_one(block_driver_modules[i].library_name);
            break;
        }
    }
    return bdrv_do_find_format(format_name);
}

This patch series needs to solve probing so that we don't end up loading
all block drivers.  Fam's suggestion for a built-in probe.c sounds good
to me.
