Okay, I see what you mean. I have used the hex output mode (when you
use the verbose option) but it's not raw.
Sounds like you want a qemu-dd :). I think adding that to qemu-img is
fine though since it's already the tool that users are familiar with for
image file manipulation and that gets shipped.
