This allows to replace the file on a block device and is useful

some shared storage with exclusive file opening model but the image
should be open form more than one app.
The previous version of approaching the workaround was based on the
"blockdev-change-medium" command modification but had some flaws:
* semantics: blockdev-change-medium is aimed to be used with removable
devices
only
* interface: it can't accept all possible combination of parameters for
the "drive" replacement (creation).
More details here: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1179329/
The current series suggests another approach:
1. blockdev-add
2. qom-set disk.drive = the blockdev added (this is what the series adds)
Are you still planning to send another version?

Not in the near future :) There is an unresolved problem with
bitmap-migration is case of block dev replacement.
Still don't know how to do it in the proper way.
