Then I'd prefer we add a protocol=XXX option for magic protocols. This would be easier to use & clearer than requiring escaping of magic characters, eg-drive file=/some/path:with:colons,protocol=file -drive file=http://some/path,protocol=uri For compatability, we could make it such that if protocol=XXX was left out, it could try and "guess" it, in same way QEMU does if format=XXX is left out for content format.
How about -drive file=file:///some/path:with:colons? Libvirt would use this unconditionally, command-line users can choose. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
