New command "block_set" added for dynamically changing any of the block
device parameters. For now, dynamic setting of hostcache params using this
command is implemented. Other block device parameters, can be integrated
in similar lines.

No error for unknown "name" argument?

Perhaps:

.args_type  = "device:B,name:s,enable:b?",
.params     = "device name [enable]",

But I am not sure what the best way to express this is.

Arguments (like "enable") should depend on the block parameter that is
being set:

.help = "Set block device parameter"

If there is no good way to support different optional arguments and
types then a json-string "value" argument would be best.

Trailing '"'.

The relevant arguments depend on which block parameter you are
changing.  I think "enable" should be documented specifically for
"hostcache":

Block parameters:

- "hostcache": Enable/disable host buffer cache
    - "enable": 'true' or 'false' (json-bool)

I think it is still worth trying to reopen with the old flags.  If you
specialy hostcache=off for a file on tmpfs then the open will fail
(tmpfs doesn't support O_DIRECT), but we can still save ourselves by
reopening with the old flags.

Ideally we'd probably treat this condition just like ENOSPC and keep
the VM paused until the administrator has taken action, and then
retry.

BTW qerror_report() followed by abort(3) does not actually report the
error because we exit before QMP has a chance to send out the error.

"device_add" is defined and implemented to handle multiple types of
optional arguments. Will work on to see whether that approach
can be adopted for block_set
     {
         .name       = "device_add",
         .args_type  = "device:O",
         .params     = "driver[,prop=value][,...]",
         .help       = "add device, like -device on the command line",
         .user_print = monitor_user_noop,
         .mhandler.cmd_new = do_device_add,
     },
