Question - is type="auto" safe, or does it risk the CVE where a raw
image can be abused by a guest in a manner to make libvirt mis-detect
the storage as some other type, and potentially causing libvirt to
follow a backing chain outside of the guest's permitted reach?
Depending on the answer, either this is safe to push as-is into 1.0.3,
or we should revisit all mention of type="auto" to clarify the danger of
relying on probing.
