[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/4] tests/vm: avoid extra compressed image copy

[Cleber Rosa <crosa@redhat.com>]

The image copy is only really needed because xz doesn't know to
properly decompress a file not named properly.  Instead of
decompressing to stdout, and having to rely on a shell, let's just
create a link instead of copying the file.
