I think this message will make it nicely through to libvirt, if libvirt
still tries to use encryption (although I didn't actually test it, as
qcow2 encryption is so broken that I've never actually tried using it).
 More importantly, patch 2/2 does something that can be observed via
'query-commands' introspection, so that newer libvirt can be made smart
enough to not even attempt to use encrypted images.
