These patches put in place the image streaming QMP/HMP commands and
documentation. Image streaming itself is not implemented by this patch series
but the HMP/QMP commands that libvirt uses are implemented to return
NotSupported.
The Image Streaming API can be used to copy the contents of a backing file into
the image file while the guest is running. The API is described on the wiki:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/LiveBlockMigration/ImageStreamingAPI
The point of this series is to commit QEMU to the API that we have worked out
with libvirt. The QED Image Streaming series that I posted earlier provides an
implementation for the QED image format only. I am currently working on a
generic block layer implementation so that any format with backing file support
can do image streaming.
For reference, the QED-specific implementation lives here:

Luiz, can you bring this in through your tree with an Ack from Kevin.
