[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/1] Fix qcow2 fully allocated filesystem objects.

[Wim Ten Have]

From: Wim ten Have <wim.ten.have at oracle.com>

When tools like virt-install request to create a fully allocated
filesystem object storage by setting the parameter sparse=no, libvirt
doesn't allow that to happen for qcow2 formatted files.

Regardless of its XML instuction request libvirt always targets its
filesystem object storage with preallocation=metadata if format=qcow2
is in effect.  This results in sparse files which could cause problems
since total image storage potentially can overrun actual filesystem
available space.

Changes from v1:
* Fix XML target sparse setting and apply for qcow2.
* Bring the test change under same PATCH.
