NACK,
the correct approach is as you mention in the commit message is to use
the "--xml" parameter of 'virsh blockcopy' to pass a XML describing
the
RBD destionation.
We don't want to add a hack to do this via the --dest parameter. Use the
XML.
As a side note. If you want to implement syntax suggar to create the
--xml argument for you via command line parameters you can add virsh
command called 'virsh block-copy-as'. Take inspiration from 'virsh
attach-disk-as' on how network disks are specified.
Modifying the daemon code to accept this hack is not acceptable
nevertheless.
