Since we have to match the images by filename a common backing image will break the detection process. Add a test case to see that the code correctly did not continue the detection process.
Maybe qemu can be enhanced to add a new command that makes querying relationships easier (won't happen any sooner than qemu 2.10). Or maybe libvirt just learns to always invent its own node names via blockdev-add. But in the meantime, testing our limitations is the best we can do.
We really want to switch to -blockdev/blockdev-add and do our own node names so such API would be of little use to libvirt.
