[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/1] Fix OVA import with libvirt backend

I've sent a patch to libvirt that should fix our problem with 'raw'
driver that
is mentioned in [1]. The libvirt patch is here [2]. However, to realy fix
things, there is at least one thing we have to change on our side. We have to
be explicit about the driver in the JSON we generate.

Note that the libvirt patch has not yet been reviewed nor merged, so this may
not be the only thing that we'll have to change.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH 1/1] v2v: ova: fix generated JSON for libvirt support

We have to be explicit about the drivers in backing file JSON in order
for libvirt to work.

Seems reasonable.  I guess we need to revert commit
f73ac1fc9c21d70e33824e61cf091533afb57273 too?
