Got it,

I know the discussion is questioning whether this is even the right way
to go, but if we DO add a QMP command,

Yeh I was noticing something similar; in a way it feels like you
should be able to do something like make this a property of a bus - i.e.
adding a drive to the bus that's on the remote controller routes it over
to the remote process rather than needing a special command.

Up to this patch, I thought that maybe the block layer related things
would only need a few changes, like:

* Have -rblockdev instead of -rdrive
* Add QMP version for HMP-only only commands

But this one got me thinking. If I understand this correctly, the
current design means that we have to duplicate every single QMP command
to have a remote variant. This just doesn't scale.

I'm not entirely sure what the final design should look like, but I
think we need to have a separate QMP connection to the process that owns
the block device so that the normal existing QMP commands can be used to
managed it.

In the long run, I think you'll want to separate the block backends from
the device emulation anyway. The thing I have in mind is the storage
daemon idea that was occasionally mentioned here and there; and the
process that owns the device would connect to the backend process, maybe
using the vhost-user protocol (or an extension of it with more
management stuff). For the start, that separate process could in fact be
the main process.

For a limited prototype, maybe we could even use NBD, which is already
existing (both server and client parts), but will obviously impact
performance. Then we'd need a way to configure the remote device process
to connect to either an external NBD server (e.g. qemu-nbd) or to the
main process, which would manage the real storage and export it to the
remote processes over NBD.

In a second step, we could switch it over to a different protocol that
is more feature complete and can provide better performance.

This probably needs some more thought, but what do you think in general?
