Zero writes are a dedicated interface for writing regions of zeroes into
the image file. If clusters are not yet allocated it is possible to use
an efficient metadata representation which keeps the image file compact
and does not store individual zero bytes.
Implementing this for the QED image format is fairly straightforward.
The only issue is that when a zero write touches an existing cluster we
have to allocate a bounce buffer and perform a regular write.

Per-request attributes like read/write are currently implemented as bool
fields in the QEDAIOCB struct. This becomes unwiedly as the number of
attributes grows. For example, the qed_aio_setup() function would have
to take multiple bool arguments and at call sites it would be hard to
distinguish the meaning of each bool.
Instead use a flags field with bitmask constants. This will be used
when zero write support is added.

The new block was filled with zero when it was allocated by g_malloc0,
but when it was reused later and only partially used, data from the
previously allocated block were still present and written to the new
block.
This caused the problems reported by bug #919242
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/919242).
Now the unused parts of the new block which are before and after the data
are always filled with zero, so it is no longer necessary to zero the whole
block with g_malloc0.
I also updated the copyright comment.

Outside coroutines, avoid busy waiting on EAGAIN by temporarily
making the socket blocking.
The API of qemu_recvv/qemu_sendv is slightly different from
do_readv/do_writev because they do not handle coroutines. It
returns the number of bytes written before encountering an
EAGAIN. The specificity of yielding on EAGAIN is entirely in
qemu-coroutine.c.

The bdrv_qed_is_allocated() function is a synchronous wrapper around

for parallel requests so no locking is needed.

This patch is only to refactor some lines of codes to get better and more robust codes.
As you have seen, in qed_read_table_cb() it's nice to
use qiov->size because that function doesn't obviously use a single
struct iovec.
In other two functions, if qiov use more than one struct iovec, the existing way will get wrong nb_sectors.
To make the code more robust, it will be nicer to refactor the existing way as below.

A BlockDriverState should not issue requests on itself through the
public block layer interface. Nested, or reentrant, requests are
problematic because they do I/O throttling and request tracking twice.
Features like block layer copy-on-read use request tracking to avoid
race conditions between concurrent requests. The reentrant request will
have to "wait" for its parent request to complete. But the parent is
waiting for the reentrant request to make progress so we have reached
deadlock.
The solution is for block drivers to avoid the public block layer
interfaces for reentrant requests. Instead they should call their own
internal functions if they wish to perform reentrant requests.
This is also a good opportunity to make copy_sectors() a true
coroutine_fn. That means calling bdrv_co_writev() instead of
bdrv_write(). Behavior is unchanged but we're being explicit that this
executes in coroutine context.

Unlocking during COW allows for more parallelism. One change it requires is
