[Qemu-block] [PATCH v7 0/4] Dynamic module loading for block drivers

[Colin Lord]

One more minor revision from v6, no big changes.

v7:
- Add ifdef around qemu_iscsi_opts in vl.c (first patch)

v6:
- Fix bug so that users can specify a modularized driver on the cli
  without qemu exiting
- Remove extra lines from Makefile
- Add patch to modularize NFS

v5:
- No format drivers are modularized, therefore the probe functions are
  all being left completely untouched.
- Remove dmg from block-obj-m since it is not a target of the
  modularization effort.
- Modify module_block.py to only include the library name and protocol
  name fields in the generated struct. The other fields are no longer
  necessary for the drivers that are being modularized.

v4:
- Fix indentation of the generated header file module_block.h
- Drivers and probe functions are now all located in the block/
  directory, rather than being split between block/ and block/probe/. In
  addition the header files for each probe/driver pair are in the block/
  directory, not the include/block/driver/ directory (which no longer
  exists).
- Since the probe files are in block/ now, they follow the naming
  pattern of format-probe.c
- Renamed crypto probe file to be crypto-probe.c, luks is no longer in
  the filename
- Fixed formatting of parallels_probe() function header
- Enforced consistent naming convention for the probe functions. They
  now follow the pattern bdrv_format_probe().
