[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/7] Initial VHDX support (and a bug fix for QCOW)

[Jeff Cody <jcody@redhat.com>]

Note: Patch 1/7 is a bug fix for QCOW, that is also needed for VHDX

This adds the initial support for VHDX image files.  It supports both
read and write operations, across fixed and dynamic files.

Notably, the following is not yet supported:
    * Differencing files
    * Log replay (so we will refuse to open any images that are not 'clean')
    * .bdrv_create()

This series, and additional work to add in the above features, may be found
