Few issues I've found while testing the block layer for an upcoming
patchset.

New subject: [PATCH 1/2] qemu: hotplug: Detect disk backing images before setting up security access
The VM will require access also to the detected images. Unfortunately a
recent reordering of the code introduced a bug where the backing chain
was probed after setting up cgroups/selinux/namespaces, which caused
that any detected images were not allowed/added and qemu was then not
able to use them.

New subject: [PATCH 2/2] qemu: block: Don't try to merge bitmaps into 'raw' images
If any of the images in a chain above a raw image have bitmaps, libvirt
would attempt to merge them when doing a block commit or block copy
operation, which would result into a error in the logs as creating
persistent bitmaps in a raw image is not supported.
Since libvirt cares only about persisten bitmaps we can simply skip the
operation if the target of a block copy or block commit is a raw image.
