[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.12 01/12] vdi: Change 'static' create option to 'preallocation' in QMP

[Kevin Wolf]

What static=on really does is what we call metadata preallocation for
other block drivers. While we can still change the QMP interface, make
it more consistent by using 'preallocation' for VDI, too.

This doesn't implement any new functionality, so the only supported
preallocation modes are 'off' and 'metadata' for now.
