Still didn't match the code:
qemu-img create -f format_of_snapshot -o
backing_file=/path/to/backing,backing_fmt=format_of_backing
/path/to/snapshot
If disk->format is unspecified, then what we do should depend on
driver->allowDiskFormatProbing; if true, omit the argument (it's okay
for qemu to do the probing); if false, error out.

Missing the converse check: if the file exists but reuse is not okay,
then it had better be a block device or an empty file; similar to online
disk snapshots, we don't want to allow the user to accidentally
overwrite files that contain data.

I don't think we need to probe here. If we don't know the current disk
format, then if driver->allowDiskFormatProbing, just omit the
backing_fmt listing; if not, error out and prevent the snapshot creation.

Rather than allocating into a temporary, it may be easier to rearrange
things to use virCommandAddArgFormat.

This covers rollbacks if qemu-img fails, but leaves things a bit awkward
if we hit OOM. In particular...

...you end up corrupting the diskdef to point to an unlinked file on OOM.

If the domain is offline, I'd treat def->state as VIR_DOMAIN_SHUTOFF,
saving VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_SNAPSHOT for the case where we know the domain
was running at the time but no memory was saved.

This isn't quite right. For offline snapshots, we can mix and match
internal and external snapshots at will, which means we should call both
functions, and ensure that the internal version does nothing unless an
internal snapshot is requested. Also, shouldn't you be passing (flags &
VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_REUSE_EXTERNAL) != 0 rather than false?
I'll work up some proposed fixes; some of them can be deferred to
followup patches, so I'll try to come up with the minimum squash for
what I would ack.
