But why? ;-)

This patch would definitely be superseded by a block reconfiguration
command (i.e. presumably one that makes reopen accessible over QMP).
With such a command, you could insert or remove a copy-on-read filter
node at any point in time.

Since we definitely want block graph configuration, I don't think we
want to add special commands now.
