The concrete patch and its benchmark/evaluation result will help much for
making better discussion/decision (whatever decision we will make).

My answer is, follow the same policy for block device case.
It supports block migration/copy-on-read/image streaming/live block copy...
(some of them are under development, though)

Seriously, we'll learn the best practice through evaluation/making experiences.
