qemu or qemu-kvm >= 1.1.0 is required.
Earlier versions of qemu contained a bug in the qcow2 code which
causes qemu to segfault when shutting down and flushing its internal
cache, and this can result in data loss.
Cherry picked from commit 7996e0882442dc7bac2ab573e2fcac0b488c8cc7
and changed to suit stable-1.16 releases.
