Subject: [PATCH] qemu: snapshot: Allow snapshots of read-only disks when we
b971b8
 can create them

With -blockdev or when reusing externally created images and thus
b971b8
without the need for formatting the image we actually can support
b971b8
snapshots of read-only disks. Arguably it's not very useful so they are
b971b8
not done by default but users of libvirt such as oVirt are actually
b971b8
using this.
