Yeah, they don't exist yet...! I've looped you in to see if the proposal
being discussed would alleviate the need for bitmaps for "other formats"
if we can offer a "raw mode qcow2."

At the moment I am going to still try to add bitmaps to other formats
(through the use of a qcow2 wrapper) but it sounds like a raw-layout
qcow2 might provide some benefits too.
