Public bug reported:
I attempted to import an existing qcow2 virtual machine image file
through the virt-manager GUI interface. The image was in qcow2 format,
but virt-manager created a libvirt profile with the image file
classified as "raw":
<disk type='file' device='disk'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
<source file='/data/images/myimage.qcow2'/>
If I do a "virsh dumpxml", edit the driver tag so that the attribute is
"qcow2", and then do "virsh define" with the edited XML file, the virtual
machine image boots successfully.
