This is another feature that was "logically" part of the BlockBackend, but implemented as a BlockDriverState feature. It was always kept on top using swap_feature_fields().
This series moves it to be actually implemented in the BlockBackend, removing another obstacle for removing bs->blk and allowing multiple BBs per BDS. Applies to block-next. v2: - Rebased on top of Paolo's 'bdrv_flush_io_queue removal, shared LinuxAioState' Most notable this includes a complete rewrite of patch 9 (was 10): 'block: Drain throttling queue with BdrvChild'. Instead of a single drain_queue() callback we now have a drained_begin/end() pair. - Patch 2 (was 3): 'block: Introduce BlockBackendPublic' Add int dummy to yet empty struct BlockBackendPublic [Eric] - Patch 11: 'block: Remove bdrv_move_feature_fields()' After the rebase, the function ended up empty, we can remove it now - Patch 12: 'Revert "block: Forbid I/O throttling on nodes with multiple parents for 2.6"' This was committed to master after v1 had been posted, so this one is new as well. The reason for forbidding this was that patch 6 ('block: Move actual I/O throttling to BlockBackend') would change the behaviour of the non-BB parents. Now that the final behaviour is implemented, we can allow the setup.
