When a device model's I/O operation fails, we execute the error
action.  This lets layers above QEMU implement thin provisioning, or
attempt to correct errors before they reach the guest.  But when the
I/O operation fails because its invalid, reporting the error to the
guest is the only sensible action.

SCSI does that, but virtio-blk and IDE don't.  Fix them.  No other
device model supports error actions.

v4:
* PATCH 4: Fix the DMA new error path, and update the commit message
  accordingly [Kevin]
v3:
* PATCH 2: Resolve semantic conflict with commit 671ec3f "virtio-blk:
  Convert VirtIOBlockReq.elem to pointer" [Kevin]
v2:
* PATCH 2: Commit message spelling fix [Fam]
* PATCH 4: New, covering IDE

Markus Armbruster (4):
  virtio-blk: Factor common checks out of virtio_blk_handle_read/write()
  virtio-blk: Bypass error action and I/O accounting on invalid r/w
  virtio-blk: Treat read/write beyond end as invalid
  ide: Treat read/write beyond end as invalid
