[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qapi-schema: Update description for NewImageMode

[Max Reitz]

If the NewImageMode is "absolute-paths" but no backing file is available
(e.g., when mirroring a device with an unbacked image), the target image
will not be backed either. This patch updates the documentation in
qapi-schema.json accordingly.
