Question that pops up immediately: do we want to commit to something
that even qemu developers don't believe yet? What will happen when
qemu decides to switch to 'root' attribute again? Libvirt will have to
adapt which won't work with older qemus supporting 'x-root' only.
I am not sure how usually libvirt deals with these cases, but to me it
seems like that we should use the "stable" attribute name; or just
postpone this series/feature.
And what's this desc= attribute for anyway? I've put in several
different values and it seems to me like nothing changed.
it is the name given to the MTP share on the guest, I see it displayed
in the guest, at least Nautilus shows it.
Is the use of 'root'/'x-root' mandatory? Is it something where we can
commit to only a stable subset of the interface, with no way to name the
root, and extend it later?
In fact, it's the most interesting attribute as it denotes the path that
is to be shared via MTP. Without it, the whole MTP device is useless.
Having said that, I vote for postponing this patch until the dust on
qemu side settles down.
