This is the part with allowing libvirt to override the backing file. Of
course, this is not something that we can add with five lines of code,
it requires -blockdev.
It can be done without blockdev. Have a dictionary that translates
filenames, and populate it from the command line (for a bonus, translate
a filename to a file descriptor inherited from the caller or passed via
the monitor).

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
