Hi,

Thanks for the review!

I'm not sure I understand this point. libvirt currently does not have
support of VxHS devices. So I cannot add TLS support for VxHS before
base VxHS functionality. If you mean that I should add generic TLS
handling functionality for block device protocols, then it would
probably just be some new variables in structures and bare-bone
functions (1 or 2) that don't do much. None of the block devices at
present use TLS, so even if I add generic TLS code, how would I test
it in the same patch unit?
