True - I really need to invest some time to update the checkpatch.pl
in qemu source tree to be up to date, or find a way to use the kernel one,
it is so useful to let it catch these things instead of wasting your time.

Oops, same thing as above.

I was under impression that with new qmp based blockdev-create api, the user
should pretty much do the preallocation itself on the underlying block file,
and then create the luks on it.

However I do see that qcow2 has a preallocation mode there, so I guess I was 
wrong.
Will do it now.
