Something that would be pretty interesting, but also terribly
hacky, would be to have an option that would allow one to use a
disk with an offset. For instance:
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=foo.img,offset=4096,if=ide
I assume this technique is more "mergable"
Than forking the qcow format? Definitely, although I'm not
convinced there isn't a better way to do it that is even less hacky.
I'd love to know what that other option could be. Adding an offset
option is going to touch a lot of files...
