I'd rather say "Preferred image format...", because if the storage
doesn't support it, it won't be used.

Rather than overriding the format hint, we could consider both:
check if $disk_format is supported, if yes, use that
else, check if $d->{format} is supported, if yes, use that
else, use default format
But arguably quite an edge case, I'm also fine with the behavior in this
patch.
