What is the reason the backend 'type' property of a configured disk is
now "qdisk" instead of "file"? Would the guest really care about that
detail?  For example block-front currently just checks for "phy" and
"file" when deciding if discard should be enabled.
I wonder if that guest-visible change was well thought.
