Subject: [PATCH] v2v: add -o json output mode
Add a new output mode to virt-v2v: similar to -o local, the written
metadata is a JSON file with the majority of the data that virt-v2v
knowns about (or collects) during the conversion.
This is meant to be used only when no existing output mode is usable,
and a guest needs to be converted to run on KVM anyway. The user of
this mode is supposed to use all the data in the JSON, as they contain
important details on how even run the guest (e.g. w.r.t. firmware,
drivers of disks/NICs, etc).
(cherry picked from commit f190e08d85556dac293ef15bfeee38e54471570f)

+The I<-o json> option produces the following files by default:
+
+ NAME.json JSON metadata.
+ NAME-sda, NAME-sdb, etc. Guest disk(s).
+
+where C<NAME> is the guest name.
+
+It is possible to change the pattern of the disks using the
+I<-oo json-disks-pattern=...> option: it allows parameters in form of
+C<%{...}> variables, for example:
+
+ -oo json-disks-pattern=disk%{DiskNo}.img
+
+Recognized variables are:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<%{DiskNo}>
+
+The index of the disk, starting from 1.
+
+=item C<%{DiskDeviceName}>
+
+The destination device of the disk, e.g. C<sda>, C<sdb>, etc.
+
+=item C<%{GuestName}>
+
+The name of the guest.
+
+=back
+
+Using a pattern it is possible use subdirectories for the disks,
+even with names depending on variables; for example:
+
+ -oo json-disks-pattern=%{GuestName}-%{DiskNo}/disk.img
+
+The default pattern is C<%{GuestName}-%{DiskDeviceName}>.
+
+If the literal C<%{...}> text is needed, it is possible to avoid the
+escape it with a leading C<%>; for example,
+C<%%{GuestName}-%{DiskNo}.img> will create file names for the
+disks like C<%%{GuestName}-1.img>, C<%%{GuestName}-2.img>, etc.
