[libvirt] [PATCH 0/2] Support for Block Device IO Limits

Depending on the hypervisor (e.g. QEMU) it is possible to override
certain properties of a block device. In Linux these are called
IO limits and can be observed in the guest's sysfs under 
/sys/block/<dev>/queue.

This patch set enables libvirt to override the logical and physical
block size for QEMU guests.

I wasn't expecting the 0.10.1 release *that* early, so I have added
the since 0.10.1 in formatdomain.html.in :-) calling for a v2 patch.
Still I wanted to collect review feedback.
