There may still be some tweaks to improve the commit message and/or code
comments to clarify things that tripped me up until later in the
subthread, but now that I understand the difference between pseudo-file
format (where the key-value pair backdoor still works for libvirt's
usage of -drive file=rbd:...) and QemuOpts format (-drive driver=rbd,...
which didn't really exist in 2.8, and where we don't want to bake in
something we don't like in 2.9), I agree with the move.
