In the order your series was written, driver->qemuImgBinary may be
uninitialized. If you swap the order and put patch 2/2 first, then yes,
you could use this field directly instead of calling
qemuFindQemuImgBinary. You should always try to order your patches so
that no patch is broken until later patches in the series have been applied.

Yes, because it is wrong.

So? A user that calls virsh vol-info on the file on the destination
side should not get infinite size, but the same size as they would get
on the source. Just because it doesn't (yet) occupy the entire disk
doesn't mean that we should size it so large that the file can grow
without effective bounds and cause ENOSPC.

If qemu changes the size after migration, then why can't it change from
0 to the proper size, rather than from max to the proper size?
