Peter Krempa (3):
qemu: monitor: Detect image cluster size from
'query-named-block-nodes'
qemu: block: Allow specifying cluster size when using
'blockdev-create'
qemuBlockStorageSourceCreateDetectSize: Propagate cluster size for
'qcow2'
It's not as flexible as allowing the user to customize sizes, but it
definitely makes sense and is a sane heuristic, better than
adccidentally creating an overlay with 64k clusters atop a base image
with 1M clusters.
