Hm, why? I don’t see the problem with it.
My wrong idea, sorry. I believed that the argument is unused when I were
reviewing v10. But it actually become unused during the series and it is
wrong.
I missed searching for calls to the qmp_block_stream() in the QEMU
dinamically generated code. Will roll back.
