This is most certainly necessary, therefore: Thanks, applied to my 
block-next tree:

https://github.com/XanClic/qemu/commits/block-next

However, as I said in our private email exchange, we need to fix the 
error message, too.

$ qemu-img create -f vmdk -o subformat=monolithicFlat test.vmdk 64M
Formatting 'test.vmdk', fmt=vmdk size=67108864 compat6=off 
subformat='monolithicFlat'
$ qemu-io -c 'open -o 
file.driver=blkdebug,file.image.filename=test.vmdk,file.inject-error.0.event=read_aio' 

qemu-io: can't open: Could not parse the JSON options

That's not very helpful. I'll send a patch for that.
