The initial version of this series had an extra 'top' parameter to decide what image to stream data into. That's what prompted the discussion: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-02/msg04182.html That was later removed when we agreed that we could just reuse the 'device' parameter to refer to either a device or a node name. I don't think that introspection support would make a difference in this case, or am I missing anything? Berto
