Make all AIO requests vectored and defer linearization until the actual
I/O thread. This prepares for using native preadv/pwritev.
Also enables asynchronous direct I/O by handling that case in the I/O thread.
Qcow and qcow2 propably want to be adopted to directly deal with multi-segment
requests, but that can be implemented later.

qcow2 files are not growable but we rely on them being growable to do
savevm/loadvm. Temporarily allow them to be growable by introducing a new

When creating large disk images w/ qcow2 format, qcow2_create is hard
coded to creating a single refcount block. This is insufficient for
large images, and will cause qemu-img to segfault as it walks off the
end of the refcount block. Keep track of the space needed during image
create and create proper number of refcount blocks accordingly.

qcow2's get_cluster_offset() scans forward in the l2 table to find other
clusters that have the same allocation status as the first cluster.
This is used by (among others) qcow_is_allocated().
Unfortunately, it was not checking to be sure that it didn't fall off
the end of the l2 table. This patch adds that check.
The symptom that motivated me to look into this was that
bdrv_is_allocated() was returning false when there was in fact data
there. This is one of many ways this bug could lead to data corruption.
I checked the other place that scans for consecutive unallocated blocks
(alloc_cluster_offset()) and it appears to be OK:
nb_clusters = MIN(nb_clusters, s->l2_size - l2_index);
appears to prevent the same problem from occurring.

Recent patches added two compiler warnings about the format string
usage in qcow_read_extensions. One is printing a uint64_t using
%lu which is incorrect on many platforms as it can be a unsigned
long long, the second one is printing the result of sizeof as
%lu, but it is a size_t so it needs to be printed using %zu.

Use a qcow2 extension to keep the backing file format.
By keeping the backing file format, we can:
1. Provide a way to know the backing file format without probing
it (setting the format at creation time).
2. Enable using qcow2 format over host block devices.
(only if the user specifically asks for it, by providing the format
at creation time).
Also fixes a security flaw found by Daniel P. Berrange on [1]
which summarizes: "Autoprobing: just say no."

'num_free_bytes' is the number of non-allocated bytes below highest-allocation.
It's useful, together with the highest-allocation, to figure out how
fragmented the image is, and how likely it will run out-of-space soon.
For example when the highest allocation is high (almost end-of-disk), but
many bytes (clusters) are free, and can be re-allocated when neeeded, than
we know it's probably not going to reach end-of-disk-space soon.

Currently qemu_mallocz calls malloc and handling of zero by malloc is
implementation defined behaviour:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989775/xsh/malloc.html
malloc(0) on AIX returns NULL[1] and qcow2 images without snapshots
are thus unusable
[1] Unless special Linux compatibility define is used when compiling

When allocating multiple clusters at once, the qcow2 implementation
tries to find as many physically contiguous clusters as possible to
allow larger writes. This search includes allocated clusters which are
in the right place and still free clusters. If the range to allocate
spans clusters in patterns like "10 allocated, then 10 free, then again
10 allocated" it is only checked that the chunks of allocated clusters
are contiguous for themselves.
However, what is actually needed is to have _all_ allocated clusters
contiguous, starting at the first cluster of the allocation and spanning
multiple such chunks. This patch changes the check so that each offset
is not compared to the offset of the first cluster in its own chunk but
to the first cluster in the whole allocation.
I haven't seen it happen, but without this fix data corruption on qcow2
images is possible.

qcow2 writes a cluster reference count on every cluster update. This causes
performance to crater when using anything but cache=writeback. This is most
noticeable when using savevm. Right now, qcow2 isn't a reliable format
regardless of the type of cache your using because metadata is not updated in
the correct order. Considering this, I think it's somewhat reasonable to use
writeback caching by default with qcow2 files.
It at least avoids the massive performance regression for users until we sort
out the issues in qcow2.

Currently the order is this (during cow since it's the interesting case):
1. Decrement refcount of old clusters
2. Increment refcount for newly allocated clusters
3. Copy content of old sectors that will not be rewritten
4. Update L2 table with pointers to new clusters
5. Write guest data into new clusters (asynchronously)
There are several problems with this order. The first one is that if qemu
crashes (or killed or host reboots) after new clusters are linked into L2
table but before user data is written there, then on the next reboot guest
will find neither old data nor new one in those sectors and this is not
what gust expects even when journaling file system is in use. The other
problem is that if qemu is killed between steps 1 and 4 then refcount
of old cluster will be incorrect and may cause snapshot corruption.
The patch change the order to be like this:
1. Increment refcount for newly allocated clusters
2. Write guest data into new clusters (asynchronously)
3. Copy content of old sectors that were not rewritten
4. Update L2 table with pointers to new clusters
5. Decrement refcount of old clusters
Unexpected crash may cause cluster leakage, but guest data should be safe.

I noticed the qemu_aio_flush was doing nothing at all. And a flood of
cmd_writeb commands leading to a noop-invocation of qemu_aio_flush
were executed.
In short all 'memset;goto redo' places must be fixed to use the bh and
not to call the callback in the context of bdrv_aio_read or the
bdrv_aio_read model falls apart. Reading from qcow2 holes is possible
with phyisical readahead (kind of breada in linux buffer cache).
This is needed at least for scsi, ide is lucky (or it has been
band-aided against this API breakage by fixing the symptom and not the
real bug).

stepped on the following bug in block-qcow2.c:alloc_cluster_offset(). I
am not sure what the exact damage this bug can do, but it may be very
nasty because you way not notice it effects until you will do some
snapshot operations or similar actions that rely on the reference
counting.
The bug is easy to spot using the new "check" verb I added to the
