Hi,

When testing vvfat in read-write mode, I came across some blocking
problems when using Windows guests.
This patchset is not here to fix all problems of vvfat, but only the
main ones I encountered.

First patch allows setting/resetting the 'volume dirty' flag on
boosector, and the second one allows creating file names with spaces.

Hervé

Changes since v1:
- updated patch 1 with remarks (modify in-memory copy, add comment about
  FAT32)

Hervé Poussineau (2):
  vvfat: allow some writes to bootsector
  vvfat: allow spaces in file names
