For now, I want to help agile the process of getting the feature to a
stable state. Later on, I'd like to contribute to a version which
enables thin provisioned snapshots.

Regarding the testing, I am having a little bit of trouble applying the
current patches.

This is the output of git am when applying the qemu-server patches:

Applying: blockdev: cmdline: add blockdev syntax support
.git/rebase-apply/patch:972: trailing whitespace.

When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".

It also happens when applying the pve-storage patches. Am I missing something?
