I was investigating the RBD support as well and in order to add proper
support for it into virt-manager we need to add support for secrets.
With secrets the issue is that they don't have any name, only UUID or
usage can be sensible ID from virt-manager POV and our current object
caching code expects name for objects and that's where I've stopped.
