Since we don't currently tell the guest when the disk backend is read-only, it will report any inconsistent read after write as an error. An image may be read-only either because user requested it on the command-line, or because write support isn't implemented. Pass the read-only attribute using the VIRTIO_BLK_F_RO feature.
