I don’t run just qcow2 tests.  I run qcow2, qcow2 with compat=0.10,
qcow2 with refcount_bits=1, raw, nbd, qed, vmdk, vhdx, ...  A lot.

So for which of the protocol/format combinations do I exclude the auto
group?  check-block.sh says it runs raw, qcow2, qed, vmdk, and vpc.  But
may that not be subject to change?
