(cherry picked from commit 509d39aa22909c0ed1aabf896865f19c81fb38a1)
Upstream commit doesn't have a verbose commit message, but as the
comment says, VMware KB 2064959 [1] advises that backup software can
read version=3 as version=1. This is important for virt-v2v and helps in
importing VMware VMs from vSphere, since most of the vSphere exported
OVF/OVA's come with version=3.
