The drive-mirror-replace command is just block-job-complete plus
stashing arguments away.  I think the approach you took in v1 was
simpler: add an argument to drive-mirror and don't introduce new QAPI
commands.

There was discussion of a generic swap command, but drive-mirror-replace
is not generic.

Please revert to the drive-mirror argument approach since the
drive-mirror + block-job-complete API is sufficient to implement this
behavior.

Can we do this unconditionally on the to_replace target (s->common.bs or
user-defined BDS)?  This code is already fairly complex and it's nice to
avoid more conditionals.

The swap operation is really the same whether to_replace == s->common.bs
or a user-defined BDS.  The op blocker cleanup and unref could be
unconditional as long as we op block and ref s->common.bs when no
user-defined BDS was given.
