Few recent changes broke wrong, but apparently widely used
configurations as used didn't really record the image format into the
image.
It turns out we can safely probe the image format in few limited
circumstances which on the other hand should fix the majority of the
problems. Please see patch 8/9 for further explanation.
Peter Krempa (9):
util: storagefile: Drop image format probing by file suffix
virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse: Remove impossible error report
virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse: Shuffle around assignment of backing
chain depth
virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse: Expect NULL src->path
virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse: Use virHashHasEntry instead of fake
pointers
virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse: Extract storage access
virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse: Remove 'cleanup' label
virStorageFileGetMetadataRecurse: Allow format probing under special
circumstances
WIP: Add tool for probing images
