This breaks in a surprising way:

$ softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=~/images/hd.img,snapshot=on
... works fine ...

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=~/images/hd.img -snapshot
qemu-system-x86_64: invalid option combination: read-only and snapshot

qemu-iotests case 051 catches this. I'll have to remove this patch and
the follow-up from the queue for now.
