Probably because is_power_of_2() is newer than this code.

Also, if we don't call ctz32(), we'd have to use (1 << MIN_CLUSTER_BITS)
and (1 << MAX_CLUSTER_BITS), so I'm not sure if that would be better.

You're ignoring the result of this command:

$ ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 12345
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=12345 cluster_size=65536 
lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16
$ ./qemu-img info -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2
image: /tmp/test.qcow2
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 13K (12800 bytes)
disk size: 196K
cluster_size: 65536
Format specific information:
    compat: 1.1
    lazy refcounts: false
    refcount bits: 16
    corrupt: false

As you can see, the size got silently rounded up to the next 512 bytes.
qcow2_create() still does the same even after this patch, but I chose
not to extend the magic rounding to the QMP command.

In the protocol drivers, I generally just allow byte granularity image
sizes, but qcow2 does use sectors internally, so it felt safer to
require 512 byte alignment in qcow2.

Actually, it does accept 'v3' when the whole series is applied, and the
message is changed in a later patch that enables this.
