[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 19/21] qcow2: Allow requests with multiple l2metas

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

Instead of expecting a single l2meta, have a list of them. This allows
to still have a single I/O request for the guest data, even though
multiple l2meta may be needed in order to describe both a COW overwrite
and a new cluster allocation (typical sequential write case).
