For debugging purpose or a "hacky" usage where you know what you are doing, it
may be fine to have this. The only issue is it should be a separate flag, like
BlockJob.user_paused.
What happens from guest perspective? In the case of virtio, the request queue is
not handled and -ETIMEDOUT may happen. With IDE, I/O commands are still handled,
the command is not effective (or rather the implementation is not complete).
