* Copy offloading for qemu-img convert (iSCSI, raw, and qcow2)
If the underlying storage supports copy offloading, qemu-img convert will
use it instead of performing reads and writes. This avoids data transfers
and thus frees up storage bandwidth for other purposes. SCSI EXTENDED COPY
and Linux copy_file_range(2) are used to implement this optimization.
* Drop spurious "WARNING: I\/O thread spun for 1000 iterations" warning
