Default is false.

This and later patches have conflicts with recent changes in the tree
that removed qmp-commands.hx; hopefully shouldn't impact review of this
series too badly.

One nice benefit of rebasing on top of qmp-commands.hx being removed is
that you don't have to repeat yourself :)

As I said before, I think this command should be able to return errors
and make use of that to reject making bitmaps persistent when the
respective block driver cannot handle them.

I'm not sure what the "For block-dirty-bitmap-add." is supposed to mean,
because this whole struct is for block-dirty-bitmap-add (and for
block-dirty-bitmap-add transactions, to be exact, but @persistent will
surely work there, too, won't it?).

Also, I'd say "will be saved to the corresponding block device image
file" instead of just "block device", because in my understanding a
block device and its image file are two separate things.

I think normally we'd align the new line so that the opening ' of
'*persistent' is under the opening ' of 'node'.

And I don't know what the user is supposed to make of the information
that block drivers will take care of maintaining persistent bitmaps. All
they care about is that it will be stored in the corresponding image
file, so in my opinion it would be better to just omit the last sentence
here.

As I understand, duplicating description is still here, in 
docs/qmp-commands.txt. I just don't have to repeat parameters definition 
(which is good, anyway)

Hmm.. But 'its close' is block device close, not file close. And we call 
common bdrv_* function to save it, so we actually save it to device, and 
then the device puzzles out, how to actually save it.

Users shoud know, that only qcow2 supports persistent bitmaps. Instead 
of last sentence I can write "For now only Qcow2 disks supports 
persistent bitmaps".

In my understanding, it is the file close.

Well, OK, it depends on what you mean by "block device". There are many
things we call a "block device", but nowadays I think it mostly refers
to either a guest block device or a BlockBackend (and as of lately,
we're more and more trying to hide the BlockBackend from the user, so
you could argue that it's only the guest device now).

The bdrv_* functions operate on block layer BDS nodes, and I don't think
we call them "block devices" (at least not any more).

In any case, I think for users the term "block device" refers to either
the device presented to the guest or to all of the block layer stuff
that's underneath, and it's not quite clear how you could save a bitmap
to that, or what it's supposed to mean to "close" a block device (you
can remove it, you can destroy it, you can delete it, but "close" it?).

But saying that it will be saved to the image file that is attached to
the block device will make it absolutely clear what we mean.

So what you have called a "device" here is neither what I'd call a
device (I'd call it a "node" or "BDS"), nor what I think users would
call a device. Also, it's not the BDS that puzzles out how to save it
but some block driver.

s/supports/support/, but yes, that sounds preferable to me.
