I'd suggest you to share more details about this use case first: 1) what is the in-kernel network boot infrastructure? which functions does it provide for user? 2) how does the in kernel QCOW2 interacts with in-kernel network boot infrastructure? 3) most important thing, what are the exact steps for one user to use the in-kernel network boot infrastructure and in-kernel QCOW2? Without knowing the motivation/purpose and exact use case, it doesn't make sense to discuss the implementation details, IMO. Thanks, Ming
