This series adds a subcommand to "map" that can dump file metadata.
Metadata that is dumped includes:

- whether blocks are allocated in bs->file and, if so, where

- whether blocks are zero

- whether data is read from bs or bs->backing_hd

Metadata is dumped for an entire chain of images.  One example usage is
(for non-compressed, non-encrypted images) to transform the metadata
into a Linux device-mapper setup, and make a qcow2 image available (for
read only) as a block device.  Another possible usage is to determine
the used areas of a file, and convert it in place to another format.
Alternatively, the richer data can be used by block jobs to quickly
determine if a block is zero without reading it.

The patches implement a new operation, bdrv_co_get_block_status, that
supersedes bdrv_co_is_allocated.  The bdrv_is_allocated API is still
available of course, and implemented on top of the new operation.

Patches 1-3 touch cow, which uses bdrv_co_is_allocated during its reads
and writes.  I optimized it a bit because it was unbearably slow during
testing.  With these patches (also tested with blkverify), booting of
a cow guest image is not particularly slow.

Patch 4 fixes the bs->total_sectors file size cache, which is used in
bdrv_co_get_block_status to clamp invalid input.

Patches 5 to 7 clean up the bdrv_is_allocated and bdrv_is_allocated_above
implementation, eliminating some code duplication.

Patches 8 and 9 tweak bdrv_has_zero_init and its usage in qemu-img in
a way that helps when implementing the new API.

Patches 10 to 12 implement bdrv_get_block_status and change the formats
to report all the available information.

Patch 13 and 14 adds the "map" subcommand to qemu-img, and the relevant
documentation.

Finally, patches 15 to 19 tweak the implementation to extract more
information from protocols, and combine this information with format
metadata whenever possible.

v2->v3:
        new patch 4 to fix qemu-iotests regression
        new patch 14 for documentation

Paolo Bonzini (19):
  cow: make reads go at a decent speed
  cow: make writes go at a less indecent speed
  cow: do not call bdrv_co_is_allocated
  block: update bs->total_sectors on writes
  block: make bdrv_co_is_allocated static
  block: remove bdrv_is_allocated_above/bdrv_co_is_allocated_above
    distinction
  block: expect errors from bdrv_co_is_allocated
  qemu-img: always probe the input image for allocated sectors
  block: make bdrv_has_zero_init return false for copy-on-write-images
  block: introduce bdrv_get_block_status API
  block: define get_block_status return value
  block: return get_block_status data and flags for formats
  qemu-img: add a "map" subcommand
  docs, qapi: document qemu-img map
  block: use bdrv_has_zero_init to return BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO
  raw-posix: return get_block_status data and flags
  raw-posix: detect XFS unwritten extents
  block: add default get_block_status implementation for protocols
  block: look for zero blocks in bs->file
