This, of course, is waiting on the same series from Jeff that my
active-commit is waiting on; but I agree with making it a separate
capability, as someone may backport active-commit optional 'top' to qemu
2.0 while leaving out the more complex backing file stuff.

ACK, but wait to push until qemu.git is ready :)
