Changes since V2:
 - VIR_STORAGE_FILE_AUTO_SAFE is not XML parsable
 - Break out QED header defines by field and add link to QED spec
 - Removed redundant overflow check in qedGetBackingStore

Changes since V1:
 - Fix virStorageFileMatchesVersion() for formats without version info
 - Allow backingStore format probing for QED images since it is safe

Qemu is about to gain support for a new disk image format: QED.  Details on
this format (including specification) can be found here:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/QED.  This short series of patches allows QED
images to be used with libvirt.

Adam Litke (4):
  Allow probing of image formats without version information
  QED: Basic support for QED images
  storage_file: Add a new flag to mark backing files that are safe to
    probe
  Support for probing qed image metadata
