[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH] Fix disk format lock during VM creation

Users are able to pass the disk format (qcow, raw, etc) in disk Template information. However, Kimchi is ignoring this information and always creating qcow2 disk images (if the storagepool is not 'LOGICAL') when it creates a VM based on a given Template. This patch fixes this problem, using the disk format from the template, if it does not exist, uses qcow2 as default.
