In order to prevent QEMU from automatically opening an image's backing
chain, use ``"backing": null'' instead.
+@subsubsection "rbd keyvalue pair encoded filenames": "" (since 3.1.0)

+Options for ``rbd'' should be specified according to its runtime options,
+like other block drivers. Legacy parsing of keyvalue pair encoded
+filenames is useful to open images with the old format for backing files;
+These image files should be updated to use the current format.
Can we give an example? Cribbing from patch 3, an example might look
like changing:
json:{"file.driver":"rbd", "file.filename":"rbd:rbd/name"}
into:
json:{"file.driver":"rbd", "file.pool":"rbd", "file.image":"name"}
I'll let Peter or John comment on whether libvirt's RBD pool handler is
impacted by this deprecation, but it seems reasonable to me.
