If quorum's child is broken, we can use mirror job to replace it. But sometimes, the user only need to remove the broken child, and add it later when the problem is fixed.
It is based on the following patch: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-09/msg04579.html ChangLog: v5: 1. Address Eric Blake's comments v4: 1. drop nbd driver's implementation.
