[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/4] v2v: Add a new tool virt-v2v-copy-to-local to handle Xen and ESXi

It turns out that RHEL 5 Xen conversions don't work if the source disk
is located on a block device.  See patch 1/4 for the gory details.

This patch series proposes a new tool called virt-v2v-copy-to-local
which essentially is a way to make new virt-v2v work like the old
virt-v2v, ie. copy first, convert after.  Of course this is very slow
and would only be used as a last resort, but I identified two
situations in which this would currently be useful (see explanation in
patch 4/4).

This is also available in my git repo:
