So blkdev->params may be 0.  In that case, we end up with:

              blkdev->fileproto = "<unset>";
              blkdev->filename  = blkdev->params;

so now ->filename may be 0.  Eventually,

              if (bdrv_open2(blkdev->bs, blkdev->filename, qflags,
                             bdrv_find_format(blkdev->fileproto)) != 0) {

Isn't that going to crash ?

Perhaps a clause needs to be added to:

      /* do we have all we need? */
      if (blkdev->params == NULL ||
          blkdev->mode == NULL   ||
          blkdev->type == NULL   ||
          blkdev->dev == NULL)
          return -1;

Ian.
