In QMP, we want to use dashes instead of underscores in QMP argument
names, and use nested options for throttling. Convert them for -drive
before calling into the code that will be shared between -drive and
blockdev-add.

This patch will probably conflict with Benoît's work on leaky bucket
throttling; can the two of you decide which one should go in first?  Are
we trying to target both this series and leaky bucket throttling for 1.6?

I like the rename to bps-total, to make it more obvious why it is
provided in addition to bps-{read,write}.

Thank you for spelling out the names; QMP doesn't need the abbreviations
that the command line has.

Of course, the intent here is to preserve back-compat (the old spelling
continues to work, even if it differs from the QMP spelling).  But will
this patch also allow the command line to learn support for the new
spellings?  If so, is that worth mentioning as an intentional side
effect in the commit message?

If you complete the review before I leave today, I might still send a
pull request, but as I'm going to disable blockdev-add and the new
options once again for 1.6, it doesn't really matter that much.

Benoît's series is for 1.7 as well, if I understood Stefan correctly. He
said he was going to merge a bug fix part of it for 1.6 and leave the
rest for 1.7. (I haven't been following the throttling series myself,
that's why I can't comment in much more detail.)

Yes, of course the command line will accept the new spellings as well.
I'll update the commit message.

In other words, just as it was in 1.5, the new parser is cool enough to
implement the framework now to ease backport efforts, but untested
enough that we'd rather defer use of that framework until after we are
back out of freeze.

Even though the latest subject line requests for-1.6?

I guess I also need to comment on that series - we're late enough that
bug fixes are okay, but new options are risky; and the tail end of that
series adds new options to throttling as part of switching to a new
algorithm.

Right. Before actually committing to the interface, I'd like you to have
some real libvirt code running on it. I assume that's doable in the 1.7
time frame, right?

Yes, it was discussed on IRC, Benoît will target 1.7 now.

Indeed, adding new options and switching the whole algorithm that late in
the cycle is something that I would find a little bit too scary.

Yes, I can commit to having libvirt coded up to use QMP fd-passing for
backing file chains prior to qemu 1.7, which will pretty much be a
full-stack test of everything you've been incrementally adding.

I will to rebase my serie on top of this.

However if anyone has suggestions for the names of the new options the leaky
bucket serie add it would probably avoid an extra code review.

s/serie/series/

[Stupid English, where every rule has an exception.  Here, the exception
is that "series" is the correct spelling of both singular and plural
form.  Don't fret, you're not the first non-native speaker to be tripped
up by this oddity.]

As I mentioned on that series, one possibility would be to have:

'*throttling': { 'bps-read': nnn, <up to 6 members, as now> }
'*throttling-threshold': { 'bps-read': nnn, ...}

so that instead of naming 6 new members, you are just naming 1 new
struct that shares the same 6 member names as the first struct.
