Kevin Wolf 6e19b3c4e0 qemu-iotests: qcow2.py
This adds a tool that is meant to inspect and edit qcow2 files in a
low-level way, that wouldn't be possible with qemu-img/io, for example
by adding yet unknown extensions or flags. This way we can test whether
qemu deals properly with future backwards compatible extensions.

For now, let's start with the image header and header extensions.

=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite ===

* Intro

This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu.
It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io
binaries.  This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only
but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio.

* Usage

Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check
-qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format.  The output of ./check -h explains
additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods.

* Feedback and patches

Please send improvements to the test suite, general feedback or just
reports of failing tests cases to qemu-devel@savannah.nongnu.org.
