Can this use a BlockExport union from the start like I'm introducing in
the storage daemon series, together with a generic block-export-add?
It also looks like node-name and writable should be part of the common
base of BlockExport. Unfortunately this would mean that I can't use the
same BlockExportNbd for the existing nbd-server-add command any more. I
guess I could somehow get a shared base type for both, though.
Markus, any thoughts on these QAPI interfaces?
