Replacing the second paragraph by
The type is so far only used by the Gluster block drivers. Take care
to keep 'tcp' working in things like -drive's file.server.0.type=tcp.
The "gluster+tcp" URI scheme in pseudo-filenames stays the same.
blockdev-add changes, but it has changed incompatibly since 2.8
already.
