The imageupload driver concept has helped detangle some of the image managment code in vm_utils. It would be nice to extend that benefit to download as well, with an additional benefit of being able to share more code between the upload and download paths. This is the first in a series of patches that aims to to do just that. The first step is change the name so that it's not just 'imageupload' but 'image'es in general that the driver is managing.
