Changes since V3 - Use virTypedParameterPtr instead of specific struct in libvirt pulic API. - Relevant changes to remote driver, qemu driver, python support and virsh.
To help add QEMU I/O throttling support to libvirt, we plan to complete it with add new API virDomain{Set, Get}BlockIoThrottle(), new command 'blkdeviotune' and Python bindings.
Notes: Now all the planed features were implemented (#1#2 were implemented by Zhi Yong Wu), the previous comments were all fixed up too. And the qemu part patches have been accepted upstream and are expected to be part of the QEMU 1.1 release, git tree from Zhi Yong:

I just realized that the block_set_io_throttle monitor command is not yet in released upstream qemu. I will continue reviewing this series, but it's harder to justify including it into libvirt 0.9.8 unless we have a good feel that the design for qemu is stable and unlikely to I strongly think that the syntax of this qemu monitor command will be not changed later. :) Moreover, it has not been changed since the patches for qemu block I/O

We have included libvirt changes for unreleased qemu features in the past, but only after pointing to qemu list archives documenting that there is large consensus for the proposed design, and that any further changes prior to a qemu release containing the design will be internal only.
