https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-March/msg00143.html
Since then:
- Earlier patches are now upstream.
- The to-do list is moved from the commit message to the TODO file.
- This version forces -of raw + -oa sparse and gives an error in
any other mode. We intend to lift these restrictions later.
- Tested against latest imageio which supports longer timeouts,
zero, flush (but not trim),
Rich.
