You can use qcow2 on top of an LVM volume, so it is not just file based
storage pools.  Also, the rng right now takes a free-form string.  It
might be nice to polish the code into enumerating the exact values that
we support instead of being free-form, but that's a bigger project.  But
yes, it means that our documentation is now chasing qemu because our rng
is letting the free-form text through to be interpreted by qemu.
