For blank files that are created by nova such as swap disks and ephemeral disks we do not need need to safety check them as they always are just bare filesystems. In the future we should refactor the qcow imagebackend to not require backing files for swap and ephemeral disks but for now we simply disable the check to workaround the addition of the gpt image inspector and the incompatiblity with vfat. future versions of oslo will account for vfat boot recored. this is a minimal patch to avoid needing a new oslo release for 2024.2 Closes-Bug: #2079850 Change-Id: I7df3d9859aa4be3a012ff919f375a7a3d9992af4
