This patch series has two parts; the first part is trying to support for hotplugging disks with <transient/> option for qemu, and make the disk shareable when <shareable/> disk option is set as well. The second part is trying to make shareable the disks with <transient/> disk option which is described on the domain xml. The second part is marked as Work In Progress (WIP) because the design may be modified by the first part changes.
