[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/3] block: do not allocate an iovec per read of a growable/zero_after_eof BDS

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

Most reads do not go past the end of the file, and they can use the
input QEMUIOVector instead of creating one.  This removes the
qemu_iovec_* functions from the profile.
