I just realized that the block_set_io_throttle monitor command is not
yet in released upstream qemu.  I will continue reviewing this series,
but it's harder to justify including it into libvirt 0.9.8 unless we
have a good feel that the design for qemu is stable and unlikely to
undergo further modifications.  We have included libvirt changes for
unreleased qemu features in the past, but only after pointing to qemu
list archives documenting that there is large consensus for the proposed
design, and that any further changes prior to a qemu release containing
the design will be internal only.
