FWIW, you can extended the header without causing a breakage.  Just bump 
the version, add the field, and add appropriate code.  Of course, this 
is technically qcow v3 but it's a good opportunity to make things a bit 
sanier such that instead of check version == QCOW_VERSION that version 
 >= QCOW_VERSION.
