Change subject: storage: Add inplace virt-sparsify support
......................................................................


Patch Set 13:

Yaniv, what sparsify-inplace is doing is basically adding your disk to a 
special minimal vm, and running fstrim inside the vm.

If can sparsify only the top volume as the other volumes are read only, we 
cannot change history unless you ask to remove it (merge).

According to Richard, sparsify does not work on:

- guest files backed with NFS (before v4.2)
- guest storage on regular LVs (not using lvm-thinp)

So it should work with NFS >= 4.2, local storage, maybe glusterfs, probably not 
because of fuse.

Shmuel, did you try this with all storage types? can you report interesting 
results?
