Avoid bounce buffers when QEMUIOVector elements are within previously registered bdrv_register_buf() buffers. The idea is that emulated storage controllers will register guest RAM using bdrv_register_buf() and set the BDRV_REQ_REGISTERED_BUF on I/O requests. Therefore no blkio_map_mem_region() calls are necessary in the performance-critical I/O code path. This optimization doesn't apply if the I/O buffer is internally allocated by QEMU (e.g. qcow2 metadata). There we still take the slow path because BDRV_REQ_REGISTERED_BUF is not set.
