Looks like directories play funny games.
Probably seems to be ultimately that bs->total_sectors gets set to a
very silly and large value, which later on will fail the format probing
because bdrv_getlength refuses to play nice with such a stupidly large
value:
ret = ret > INT64_MAX / BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE ? -EFBIG : ret;
return ret < 0 ? ret : ret * BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE;
but the real villain is down here, when we add the "file" to to a raw
posix file bs for the hopes of probing it.

specifically:
(gdb) s
1963 size = lseek(s->fd, 0, SEEK_END);
(gdb) s
1964 if (size < 0) {
(gdb) print size
$37 = 9223372036854775807
cool, cool, cool. This value is 0x7fffffffffffffff and errno isn't set.
cool and good function.
so, lseek on a folder returns crazy nonsense. Perhaps we ought to
actually specifically disallow folders, we don't appear to.
Learned something today.
