Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] qemu: block: Use correct alias when extracting disk node names

For some arcane reason we don't use the alias from
disk->info.alias
directly but prepend drive in front of it.
'disk->info.alias' is used as the ID for the frontend device (eg virtio-blk)
device. IDs must be globally unique in QEMU, so we can't use the same ID
for the backend ('drive') object, hence we must invent a different ID, which
we do by prepending 'drive'.
