Hmm, I think we will have multiple namespaces.  At least one for guest 
devices and one for host backends.  Probably also different namespaces 
for different kinds of host backends (disk / net / char / ...).

-set or maybe -drive-set id.name= should be easier to handle then 
-drive.id.name with qemu's command line option parser.

cheers,
