As node-name is a separate name space as device-name we can enable it's
definition right now: nobody will use it so no harm involved.

Shouldn't blockdev-add have a QMP counterpart for setting node name
during device hotplug?  Also, is there a QMP command for inspecting node
names yet?  This feels like a write-only interface if we don't have more
usage of it in place.

Don't get me wrong - I think we definitely want this, but in the context
of a bigger series rather than by itself.

As Eric already said, we need to update the QAPI schema for the new
field.

We already have an 'id' field for each BlockDriverState, which is
currently used as the device_name on the top level, and forbidden on
other devices. What is our long-term plan with this?

Should 'id' be for every node that must get a BlockBackend on top, and
'node-name' just for any node? We're mixing BDS and BB configuration
here. It may be okay to do that, especially as long as BBs don't have
more than just device_name to be configured, but we should at least be
aware that we're doing it.
