This series adds blockdev-add support for SSH block driver. Patch 1 prepares the code for the addition of a new option prefix, which is "server.". This is accomplished by adding a ssh_has_filename_options_conflict() function which helps to iterate over the various options and check for conflict.
Patch 2 first adds InetSocketAddress compatibility to SSH block driver and then makes it accept a InetSocketAddress under the "server" option. The old options "host" and "port" are supported as legacy options and then translated to the respective InetSocketAddress representation. Patch 3 drops the usage of "host" and "port" outside of ssh_has_filename_options_conflict() and ssh_process_legacy_socket_options() functions in order to make them legacy options completely. Patch 4 helps to allow blockdev-add support for the SSH block driver by making the SSH option available. *** This series depends on the following patch: *** "qdict: implement a qdict_crumple method for un-flattening a dict" from Daniel's "QAPI/QOM work for non-scalar object properties" series.
