Thanks, applied to the block branch. Something corrupted your patch
(indentation of many unchanged lines differed by one space); I fixed it
for this patch, but please check what caused this so that your next
patch can apply without changes.

It would also be a great idea to add a (VMDK only) test case to
qemu-iotests that catches this kind of bugs.
