This series add support for VMFS and VMFSSPARSE extents, these types are found in description file from ESX hosts.
- VMFS is in monolithiFlat format (raw), but hosted in ESX. - VMFSSPARSE is the format we call "vmdk3" with magic bytes "COWD". There's no reason to open a image of the same type (same magic bytes and same header) in two different ways, my judgement is the (old) code need to be fixed, as it doesn't follow the latest spec any more, and AFAIK this ESX server sparse is its only use case. This series fixes the opening of vmdk3 and rename it to vmdk_open_vmfs_sparse which is better representing its main usage nowadays.
