Please see patches for rationale.
Libvirt patches using this new flag will be posted soon-ish (after
cleanup).
v3:
- changed name of flag to 'backing-mask-protocol' (Eric)
- decided to keep Vladimir's R-b as he requested shorter name too
v2:
- fixed mistaken argument order in 'hmp_block_stream'
- changed version in docs to 9.0 as getting this into RC 3 probably
isn't realistic
Peter Krempa (2):
