There's a series from me adding this support, not yet applied.
It planned since start of PVE 4 but we did not get too much request and
poke-ings about it to accelerate the efforts (and as always a lot of other
things where to do), thus it only got code reviewed recently.
Actually we only talked about this today here and it's on my todo list to
finally apply it, *knocks wood*.

cheers,
