[Qemu-devel] [PULL 07/29] qcow2: Constant cache size in bytes

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

From: Max Reitz <mreitz@redhat.com>

Specifying the metadata cache sizes in clusters results in less clusters
(and much less bytes) covered for small cluster sizes and vice versa.
Using a constant byte size reduces this difference, and makes it
possible to manually specify the cache size in an easily comprehensible
unit.
