So I suppose the only question I have for this one relates to whether
vvfat is supported in QEMU 1.5 or later and that's been the expectation
to use it for a long time, but libvirt wasn't doing the right thing?

Assuming 1.5 or later and that we don't have to do anything special or
use qemuBlockStorageSourceGetFileProps for some variant between 1.5 and
when vvfat was first supported,
