Again, don't know vmdk code, but briefly looking at it (and at vmdk spec) I
see that "extents" are files, and flat extent is a raw file without any special
format. And it is allocated by blk_truncate(.. PREALLOC_MODE_OFF ..), so really
looks like metadata preallocation.
And, any way, there should not be real damage, as patch simply brings back old behavior
for one case.
