[PATCH 0/3] Implement support for QCOW2 data files

There are use cases when the existing disks (i.e. LVM) are wanted to be used with advanced features. For this purpose QEMU allows data-file feature for qcow2 files: metadata is kept in the qcow2 file like usual, but guest data is written to an external file. These patches enable support for this feature in libvirt.
