The Nova patch can be backported up to Ussuri (I tried...), though before, it's complicated, because oslo.util QemuImgInfo doesn't have a format_specific attribute. For it, we would need to backport this patch:

What does upstream recommend? Should we also patch oslo.utils? Or get that information somehow, in another way in Nova? FYI, I'll try backporting the above patch and see how it goes...
