The bdrv_is_allocated() interface is not suitable for use while the VM is
running.  It is a synchronous interface so it may block the running VM for
arbitrary amounts of time.  It also assumes it is the only block driver
operation and there is a risk that internal state could be corrupted if
asynchronous I/O is currently pending.

This patch series refactors the block layer so that the bdrv_is_allocated()
operation is performed internally in coroutine context.  We can then introduce
a new public bdrv_co_is_allocated() function that is suitable for use when the
VM is running.

Making these changes without breaking git bisect means we need to first
introduce BlockDriver .bdrv_co_is_allocated() and add wrapper code into
bdrv_is_allocated() so existing callers can use converted BlockDrivers.

After converting all block drivers there are no .bdrv_is_allocated() functions
left and the interface can be removed from BlockDriver.

Finally, we can add the new public bdrv_co_is_allocated() public interface and
turn the old bdrv_is_allocated() into a wrapper.

This series is a prerequisite for copy-on-read, which needs to check whether
sectors are allocated while the VM is running.

v2:
 * Rebased on kevin/block and resolved conflicts

Stefan Hajnoczi (9):
  block: use public bdrv_is_allocated() interface
  block: add .bdrv_co_is_allocated()
  qed: convert to .bdrv_co_is_allocated()
  block: convert qcow2, qcow2, and vmdk to .bdrv_co_is_allocated()
  vvfat: convert to .bdrv_co_is_allocated()
  vdi: convert to .bdrv_co_is_allocated()
  cow: convert to .bdrv_co_is_allocated()
  block: drop .bdrv_is_allocated() interface
  block: add bdrv_co_is_allocated() interface
