Okay, so I have reviewed the patches now and except for that one thing
in parallels they look good.
For cloop I trust your test, and for bochs I did a very basic test
myself (however, I doubt that anyone uses this driver, considering how
hard it is to create such an image...). For parallels I still need to
find out how to create an image.
I've applied cloop and bochs to the block branch, and I'll wait for a v2
with the parallels patches.
