So let the bikeshedding begin: ;)

What about qbds_ prefix rather than qbdrvs_? I find the proposed mixture
of acronym (q for QEMU, b for Block, s for State) and abbreviation (drv
as in Driver) a bit ugly.

Or just simply go for qblock - might be better memorable. :)

Just my 2=C2=A2 (on something I don't use much),
