The block layer has already some kind of api (.bdrv_file_open,
.bdrv_read). We
could simply compile the block-drivers as shared objects and
create a method
for loading the necessary modules at runtime.
That approach would be a recipe for disaster. We would have to
introduce a new, reduced functionality block API that was supported
for plugins. Otherwise, the only way a plugin could keep up with our
API changes would be if it was in tree which defeats the purpose of
having plugins.
We could guarantee API/ABI stability in a stable branch but not across
releases.
