When checking for errors, commit db89119d compares with the wrong values,
failing image creation even when there was no error. Additionally, if an
error has occured, we can't preallocate the image (it's likely broken).
This unbreaks test 023 of qemu-iotests.

Currently qcow2 unnecessarily rounds up the length of the backing format string
to the next multiple of 8. At the same time, the array in BlockDriverState can
only hold 15 characters, so in effect backing formats with 9 characters or more
don't work (e.g. host_device).
Save the real string length and things start to work for all valid image format
names.

Images with disk size 0 may be used for
VM snapshots, but not to save normal block data.
It is possible to create such images using
qemu-img, but opening them later fails.
So even "qemu-img info image.qcow2" is not
possible for an image created with
"qemu-img create -f qcow2 image.qcow2 0".

When the synchronous read and write functions were dropped, they were replaced
by generic emulation functions. Unfortunately, these emulation functions don't
provide the same semantics as the original functions did.
The original bdrv_read would mean that we read some data synchronously and that
we won't be interrupted during this read. The latter assumption is no longer
true with the emulation function which needs to use qemu_aio_poll and therefore
allows the callback of any other concurrent AIO request to be run during the
read. Which in turn means that (meta)data read earlier could have changed and
be invalid now. qcow2 is not prepared to work in this way and it's just scary
how many places there are where other requests could run.
I'm not sure yet where exactly it breaks, but you'll see breakage with virtio
on qcow2 with a backing file. Providing synchronous functions again fixes the
problem for me.

Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc923584,
f40d753718,
96555a96d7 and
3990d09adf but the fixes were fragile.
Solution: Avoid the conflict entirely by renaming the functions and the
file. Revert the previous hacks.

When two AIO requests write to the same cluster, and this cluster is
unallocated, currently both requests allocate a new cluster and the second one
merges the first one when it is completed. This means an cluster allocation, a
read and a cluster deallocation which cause some overhead. If we simply let the
second request wait until the first one is done, we improve overall performance
with AIO requests (specifially, qcow2/virtio combinations).
This patch maintains a list of in-flight requests that have allocated new
clusters. A second request touching the same cluster is limited so that it
either doesn't touch the allocation of the first request (so it can have a
non-overlapping allocation) or it waits for the first request to complete.

The wrong version of the preallocation patch has been applied, so this is the
remaining diff.
We can't use truncate to grow the image file to the right size because we don't
know if metadata has been written after the last data cluster. In this case
truncate would shrink the file and destroy its metadata. Write a zero sector at
the end of the virtual disk instead to ensure that the file is big enough.

This introduces a qemu-img create option for qcow2 which allows the metadata to
be preallocated, i.e. clusters are reserved in the refcount table and L1/L2
tables, but no data is written to them. Metadata is quite small, so this
happens in almost no time.
Especially with qcow2 on virtio this helps to gain a bit of performance during
the initial writes. However, as soon as create a snapshot, we're back to the
normal slow speed, obviously. So this isn't the real fix, but kind of a cheat
while we're still having trouble with qcow2 on virtio.
Note that the option is disabled by default and needs to be specified
explicitly using qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata.

The VM state offset is a concept internal to the image format. Replace
the old bdrv_{get,put}_buffer method that require an index into the
image file that is constructed from the VM state offset and an offset
into the vmstate with the bdrv_{load,save}_vmstate that just take an
offset into the VM state.

Contrary to what one could expect, the size of L1 tables is not cluster
aligned. So as we're writing whole sectors now instead of single entries,
we need to ensure that the L1 table in memory is large enough; otherwise
write would access memory after the end of the L1 table.

The qcow2 source is now split into several more manageable files. During the
conversion quite some functions that were static before needed to be changed to
be global to make the source compile again.
We were lucky enough not to get name conflicts with these additional global
names, but they are not nice. This patch adds a qcow2_ prefix to all of the
global functions in qcow2.

to support two different aio implementations behind a single
