bdrv_get_format_name() returns NULL if bs->file->bs->drv is NULL.  I’m
sure g_strdup_vprintf() handles %s with a NULL string gracefully in
practice, but I can’t find that specified anywhere.  So even though I’m
well aware I’m being a bit stupid about a minor edge case, I’m hesitant
to accept this patch as-is.

Obviously the solution can be as simple as bdrv_get_format_name(...) ?:
"(no format)".

Well, actually, I can be a bit less stupid about it and just propose
merging that change in myself.  Would that be OK for you?

(The rest looks good to me.)
