commit 321a28c6aef6fb31b4ba309a1b3d252f7cd0f05c Author: Jim Fehlig Date: Tue Feb 7 11:00:33 2017 -0700 libxl: set default disk format in device post-parse When starting a domian, a libxl_domain_config object is created from virDomainDef. Any virDomainDiskDef devices with a format of VIR_STORAGE_FILE_NONE are mapped to LIBXL_DISK_FORMAT_RAW in the corresponding libxl_disk_device, but the virDomainDiskDef format is never updated to reflect the change. A better place to set a default format for disk devices is the device post-parse callback, ensuring the virDomainDiskDef object reflects the default format.
