Allowing the user to specify what mode we use to open a file is IMHO not
a good interface for a user. A user should only be concerned with how
we expose a disk to the guest, not the underlying implementation of how
we support this. It has subtle side-effects that a user is not going to
expect unless they are intimately familiar with how QEMU is implemented
(like snapshotting breaking).
