After creating a new image with bdrv_create in qemu-img.c img_convert there
is a bdrv_new_open which got read_password and bdrv_set_key. This seems
to be missing from img_create.

qemu_key_check in vl.c does use monitor_readline, so you should see a 
"Password:"
prompt in the monitor window (press ctrl-alt-2 to get there).
