This produces a qcow2 file which is the different between
two disk images.  ie, if:

  original.img - is a disk image (in any format)
  modified.img - is a modified version of original.img

then:

  qemu-img diff -b original.img modified.img diff.qcow2

creates 'diff.qcow2' which contains just the differences.  Note that
'diff.qcow2' has 'original.img' set as the backing file.
