[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/2] qcow2: Prefer 'entries' over 'size' for non-byte values in spec

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

We want to limit the use of the term 'size' for only values that
count by bytes.  Renaming fields in the spec does not invalidate
any existing implementation, but may make future implementations
easier to write.

A reasonable followup would be to rename internal qemu code that
operates on qcow2 images to also use the distinction between
size and entries in variable names.
