This is to use the VMs own disk image instead of a tmpfs in order to avoid eating more memory. Of course, by default we still use the tmpfs in order to not break existing VM tests. I personally don't like the coding style of the option definition, but in order to stay consistent, I followed the overall style in this file. Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org>
