[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] qcow2: Add DEFAULT_L2_CACHE_CLUSTERS

[Max Reitz]

If a relatively large cluster size is chosen, the default of 1 MB L2
cache is not really appropriate. In this case, unless overridden by the
user, the default cache size should not be determined by its size in
bytes but by the number of L2 tables (clusters) it is supposed to
contain.

Note that without this patch, MIN_L2_CACHE_SIZE will effectively take
over the same role. However, providing space for just two L2 tables is
not enough to be the default.
