Libaio defines IO_CMD_FDSYNC command to sync all outstanding
asynchronous I/O operations, by flushing out file data to the
disk storage. Enable linux-aio to submit such aio request.
When using aio=native without fdsync() support, QEMU creates
pthreads, and destroying these pthreads results in TLB flushes.
In a real-time guest environment, TLB flushes cause a latency
spike. This patch helps to avoid such spikes.

The LuringState typedef is defined twice, in include/block/raw-aio.h and
block/io_uring.c. Move it in include/block/aio.h, which is included
everywhere the typedef is needed, since include/block/aio.h already has
to define the forward reference to the struct.

Stop using the .bdrv_co_io_plug() API because it is not multi-queue
block layer friendly. Use the new blk_io_plug_call() API to batch I/O
submission instead.
Note that a dev_max_batch check is dropped in laio_io_unplug() because
the semantics of unplug_fn() are different from .bdrv_co_unplug():
1. unplug_fn() is only called when the last blk_io_unplug() call occurs,
not every time blk_io_unplug() is called.
2. unplug_fn() is per-thread, not per-BlockDriverState, so there is no
way to get per-BlockDriverState fields like dev_max_batch.
Therefore this condition cannot be moved to laio_unplug_fn(). It is not
obvious that this condition affects performance in practice, so I am
removing it instead of trying to come up with a more complex mechanism
to preserve the condition.

A zone append command is a write operation that specifies the first
logical block of a zone as the write position. When writing to a zoned
block device using zone append, the byte offset of the call may point at
any position within the zone to which the data is being appended. Upon
completion the device will respond with the position where the data has
been written in the zone.

Add zoned device option to host_device BlockDriver. It will be presented only
for zoned host block devices. By adding zone management operations to the
host_block_device BlockDriver, users can use the new block layer APIs
including Report Zone and four zone management operations
(open, close, finish, reset, reset_all).
Qemu-io uses the new APIs to perform zoned storage commands of the device:
zone_report(zrp), zone_open(zo), zone_close(zc), zone_reset(zrs),
zone_finish(zf).
For example, to test zone_report, use following command:
$ ./build/qemu-io --image-opts -n driver=host_device, filename=/dev/nullb0
-c "zrp offset nr_zones"

Back in 2016, we discussed[1] rules for headers, and these were
generally liked:
1. Have a carefully curated header that's included everywhere first. We
got that already thanks to Peter: osdep.h.
2. Headers should normally include everything they need beyond osdep.h.
If exceptions are needed for some reason, they must be documented in
the header. If all that's needed from a header is typedefs, put
those into qemu/typedefs.h instead of including the header.
3. Cyclic inclusion is forbidden.
This patch gets include/ closer to obeying 2.
It's actually extracted from my "[RFC] Baby steps towards saner
headers" series[2], which demonstrates a possible path towards
checking 2 automatically. It passes the RFC test there.

We know that the kernel implements a slow fallback code path for
BLKZEROOUT, so if BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK is given, we shouldn't call it.
The other operations we call in the context of .bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes
should usually be quick, so no modification should be needed for them.
If we ever notice that there are additional problematic cases, we can
still make these conditional as well.

laio_init() can fail for a couple of reasons, which will lead to a NULL
pointer dereference in laio_attach_aio_context().
To solve this, add a aio_setup_linux_aio() function which is called
early in raw_open_common. If this fails, propagate the error up. The
signature of aio_get_linux_aio() was not modified, because it seems
preferable to return the actual errno from the possible failing
initialization calls.
Additionally, when the AioContext changes, we need to associate a
LinuxAioState with the new AioContext. Use the bdrv_attach_aio_context
callback and call the new aio_setup_linux_aio(), which will allocate a
new AioContext if needed, and return errors on failures. If it fails for
any reason, fallback to threaded AIO with an error message, as the
device is already in-use by the guest.
Add an assert that aio_get_linux_aio() cannot return NULL.

We are gradually moving away from sector-based interfaces, towards
byte-based. Make the change for the last few sector-based callbacks
in the file-win32 driver.
Note that the driver was already using byte-based calls for
performing actual I/O, so this just gets rid of a round trip
of scaling; however, as I don't know if Windows is tolerant of
non-sector AIO operations, I went with the conservative approach
of modifying .bdrv_refresh_limits to override the block layer
defaults back to the pre-patch value of 512.
