The idea is simple - backup is "written-once" data. It is written block
by block and it is large enough. It would be nice to save storage
space and compress it.
These patches add the ability to compress data during backup. This
functionality is implemented by means of adding options to the qmp/hmp
commands(drive-backup, blockdev-backup). The implementation is quite
simple, because the responsibility for data compression imposed on the
format driver.
