[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC for-2.3 0/1] block: New command line option --no-format-probing

[Markus Armbruster]

First of all, my apologies for being so late with this.  I realized
part way through the current development cycle that I couldn't do both
the error work and my half of the block probing work we discussed back
in November, so I punted the latter to the next cycle, missing the one
little feature I quite obviously could do.

Why is this "RFC for-2.3"?  The patch is simple, and quite obviously
does nothing unless you run with --no-format-probing.  If libvirt
wants it in 2.3, then I think we should consider it even at this late
stage.  If libvirt doesn't want it, or won't try to make use of it for
another few months, I'm happy to drop the patch now and revisit the
larger topic in the next cycle.

I readily admit --no-format-probing is fugly.  Better ideas are
welcome.
