Ah, we have discussed about it with Fabian. the V1/v2 had raw support,
but I have removed it from v3 because it's simplify a lot the code,
and from my test, I don't see anymore too much difference between qcow2
&& raw. (maybe 10% diff max)
Note that you can preallocated 100% the base qcow2 image if you want.
(or only metadatas, that's the defaut)
I'm going to do more extensive benchmark, but qcow2 have improved a lot
since last years (with sub-allocation clusters), so it should be too
far from a cow filesystem like zfs,btrfs. (sure, they are still
overhead vs a simple raw).
