Introduction of the disk image locking in qemu created a regression
where disk shared access with <shareable/> would not work.
Since the disk locking is a desired feature, allow libvirt to configure
qemu in such way that <shareable/> disks are exempt from write locks.
First few patches refactor some stuff so that it's less ugly.
Thank you.
This series also mandates that sharing is used only with 'raw'
disks
since other formats could corrupt metadata.
v2:
- better capability detection (all the drive types)
- fixed bug when share-rw would be used only with virtio disks
- improved error message with automatic format probing
- rebased to current master (new capability)
- added BZ links into few cover letters
