Really?  I thought we _want_ new interfaces to use '-', not '_', in QMP.
 For 'backing_file', we are stuck due to back-compat (unless Anthony's
proposed patch to parse names case-insensitively with '-' and '_' folded
together is taken), but for the new field, we have no back-compat
constraints, and I would prefer backing-file-depth.

At any rate, you definitely need to make sure you agree between the docs
above and the JSON statement below (as written, you have both spellings
in the same patch).
