qemu: check backing chains even when cgroup is omitted
added backing file checks just before the code that removes optional disks if they are not present. However, the backing chain code fails in case the disk file does not exist, which makes qemuProcessStart fail regardless on configured startupPolicy.
Note that startupPolicy implementation is still wrong after this patch since it only check the first file in a possible chain. It should rather check the complete backing chain. But this is an existing limitation that can be solved later. After all, startupPolicy is most useful for CDROM images and they won't make use of backing files in most cases.
This fix is also in my patch set, so I give ACK. https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-March/msg00990.html
Oh, I haven't looked at your series yet. I hope you don't mind I pushed my version since it provides more details about the regression. Thanks and pushed. Jirka
