Preferably, add a temporary string holding either "vhost-user-blk" or
"virtio-blk" and call qemuBuildVirtioDevStr just once, since all other
arguments are the same.
This would require adding one level of nesting because of the temporary
variable or I would have to define the variable at the top of the
function. Not sure if it makes it better.

The code above sets 'format' for storage pool backed disks, but since
format isn't something we'd be setting for vhost-user this exemption
should be at the beginning of the function.
Fixed.

Missing stuff from this commit:
- hot-unplug support
- see qemuDomainRemoveDiskDevice where the chardev isn't deleted
- blockjob lockout
- qemuDomainDiskBlockJobIsSupported
- block iotune lockout
- possible better lockout for qemuDomainBlockPeek
- it will barf either that the file is not 'raw' or that it can't be
initialized
- possible better lockout for qemuDomainSetBlockThreshold
- "threshold currently can't be set for block device '%s'"
<- it
will never be possible
- lockout for qemuDomainGetBlockInfo
- lockout for qemuDomainBlockResize
- lockout for qemuDomainBlockStats(Flags)
- handling in bulk stats (qemuDomainGetStatsBlockExportDisk ?)
Well, that's a lot of missing things, thanks for the pointers, I'll look
into it.
