1) Enable the blkio throttling in xml when guest is starting up.
Add blkio throttling in xml as follows:
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/var/lib/libvirt/images/kvm-one.img'/>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/>
<iotune bps='n'.../>
</disk>
2) Enable blkio throttling setting at guest running time.
virsh blkiothrottle<domain> <device> [--bps<number>] [--bps_rd<number>] \
[--bps_wr<number>] [--iops<number>] [--iops_rd<number>] [--iops_wr<number>]
3) The support to get the current block i/o throttling for a device - HMP/QMP.
virsh blkiothrottle<domain> <device>
Given that the XML is named <iotune> under <disk>, we should probably
name the virsh command 'blkiotune' or 'disk-iotune', not 'blkiothrottle'.
Also, <iotune bps='n'.../> doesn't look right. This should be similar
to the top-level XML. Here, taking into account the other proposal for
per-block-device values (which can't be tied to individual <disk>):
<domain...>
<blkiotune>
<weight>800</weight>
<device>
<path>/path/to/device</path>
<weight>200</weight>
</device>
</blkiotune>
<devices>
<disk ...>
<iotune>
<bps>800</bps>
...
</iotune>
</disk>
</devices>
</domain>

Missing changes in docs/formatdomain.html.in (to describe the new XML),
docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng (to validate the new xml), and tests/
(probably qemuxml2argvdata), to test it.
