Actually, the command line option is the least part of this series.
Its bulk is about building infrastructure and getting errors out of
the JSON parser[*]. The latter part could be spun out in its own
series, if that helps. We'll see.
The design of the command line interface was discussed here:
Subject: Non-flat command line option argument syntax
Message-ID: <87bmukmlau.fsf@dusky.pond.sub.org>

This series is based on "[PATCH v2 00/26] qapi: QMP dispatch and input
visitor work". Available as branch blockdev-cmdline in my public repo
<http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/armbru.git>, except that one still has a
patch to add implied value sugar, followed by its revert.
It supersedes "[PATCH RFC v3 0/5] block: Crude initial implementation
of -blockdev".
[*] Who'd have thunk anyone actually wants to know what's wrong with
his JSON!
