[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 20/29] block: Align requests in bdrv_co_do_pwritev()

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

This patch changes bdrv_co_do_pwritev() to actually be what its name
promises. If requests aren't properly aligned, it performs a RMW.

Requests touching the same block are serialised against the RMW request.
Further optimisation of this is possible by differentiating types of
requests (concurrent reads should actually be okay here).
