Apparently 'qemu-img info' doesn't report the backing file format field
for qed (as it does for qcow2):
$ qemu-img create -f qed base.qed 1M && qemu-img create -f qed -b base.qed -F qed top.qed 1M
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 base.qcow2 1M && qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b base.qcow2 -F qcow2 top.qcow2 1M
$ qemu-img info top.qed | grep 'backing file format'
$ qemu-img info top.qcow2 | grep 'backing file format'
backing file format: qcow2
This leads to the 024 test failure with -qed. Let's just filter the
field out and exclude it from the output.
This is a fixup for the commit f93e65ee51 ("iotests/{024, 271}: add
testcases for qemu-img rebase").

=== This is the QEMU I/O test suite ===
* Intro
This package contains a simple test suite for the I/O layer of qemu.
It does not require a guest, but only the qemu, qemu-img and qemu-io
binaries. This does limit it to exercise the low-level I/O path only
but no actual block drivers like ide, scsi or virtio.
* Usage
Just run ./check to run all tests for the raw image format, or ./check
-qcow2 to test the qcow2 image format. The output of ./check -h explains
additional options to test further image formats or I/O methods.
* Feedback and patches
Please send improvements to the test suite, general feedback or just
reports of failing tests cases to qemu-devel@nongnu.org with a CC:
to qemu-block@nongnu.org.
