Uggh, now that I reread the thread...

'freeze-list' is indeed a better verb than 'list' - we aren't listing
the mountpoints (that is patch 2/2 with guest-fs-get-info), but freezing
a list of mountpoints (the existing 'freeze' action is taken, so we are
doing a new action based on freeze but with a longer name).

Okay, I can live with 'guest-fsfreeze-freeze-list'.

Do we need a guest-fsfreeze-thaw-list counterpart, or is it sufficient
to always thaw all systems without worrying about listing them?
