See, I was going to have a "virtblk_device_change()" entry point and leave others to solve the problem of how to connect it up... TBH I think it's a little early to design the One True Bus: I'm just not smart enough to see so far ahead. When we have a bundle of devices which support a most of the functionality we want, I think we'll have a better idea of how to encapsulate it. (That said, I love that Arnd is thinking about this now: it will make it much easier when we do reach that point).
