[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 2/3] config: introduce a flag to prevent writing the configuration

[Fiona Ebner]

To be used in the context of template backup, where a minimized
temporary configuration is created to start the VM in 'prelaunch'
mode. Issue a warning, so that code paths where this happens will be
noted and can be evaluated and adapted.
