I haven't looked at the final patch because that one is irrelevant for me, but otherwise nice series. Please keep me copied on new versions of it, I noticed that qdict_crumple() and qobject_string_visitor_new() are exactly what I need for implementing the new '-blockdev' option, so I'll build on top of this.
