Looks reasonable - I'll take a more detailed look later today. How did
you test this? Have you checked the QCOW2 image after copy-on-write
with "qemu-img check"? There's some existing issues that seem to cause
corruption which is why we're forcing read-only. It'd be nice to fix
those issues before adding more features. ;-)
