block: kill BDRV_O_CREAT
The BDRV_O_CREAT option is unused inside qemu and partially duplicatesthe bdrv_create method. Remove it, and the -C option to qemu-io whichisn't used in qemu-iotests anyway.

Signed-off-by: Naphtali Sprei <nsprei@redhat.com>Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
Clean-up a little bit the RW related bits of BDRV_O_FLAGS. BDRV_O_RDONLY gone (and so is BDRV_O_ACCESS). Default value for bdrv_flags (0/zero) is READ-ONLY. Need to explicitly request READ-WRITE.
Instead of using the field 'readonly' of the BlockDriverState struct for passing the request,...
block: Introduce BDRV_O_NO_BACKING
If an image references a backing file that doesn't exist, qemu-img info failsto open this image. Exactly in this case the info would be valuable, though:the user might want to find out which file is missing.
This patch introduces a BDRV_O_NO_BACKING flag to ignore the backing file when...
