Hi all!

I just send these old patches as they can be useful. I'm not the author
of the code and not going to discuss them. "RFC" is here just to mark
the series as "not-for-applying-to-master". So, please don't answer
here. If you want to continue this work, post v2 first.

Virtuozzo doesn't have plans on improving Parallels disk format
support in Qemu. Still, if someone want to work on it, these patches may
help.

Note that patches don't apply to master, they need a rebase. I've
applied them onto b0292b851b85ba81c0cfedf5b576c32189cfaa11, to run git
send-email. So, you may start from applying to same commit and rebasing
onto current master if you want.

Note also that Edgar and Klim are not in Virtuozzo team for now and
their @virtuozzo.com emails are invalid.
