The base work for per-storage bandwidth limiting was added,
see commit:

     add Storage::get_bandwidth_limit helper

the changes should be trivial though (see commit), only restore bwlimit 
is implemented and exposed on newest WebUI.

Besides that I did not found or remembered anything big, API-wise.

A good heuristic for "where there changes for all/most plugins" is running:
# git log --stat --oneline PVE/Storage/

And look for changes which affect a lot or all plugin classes, with this 
I found the aforementioned commit above.

No not really, I'm afraid, but doing so on top should be much less work 
now, with the big storage edit refactoring.

cheers,
Thomas
