This read a bit awkwardly.  Might I suggest:

block: use callbacks in qmp_transaction()

Make it easier to add other operations to qmp_transaction() by using
callbacks, with external snapshots serving as an example implementation
of the callbacks.

Better might be:

/* Only prepare() may fail.  In a single transaction, only one of
commit() or rollback() will be called.  */

Based on the comments on 1/5, should prepare have a void signature and
just let errp serve to indicate failure?
