[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 02/23] block: Add flag to avoid wasted work in bdrv_is_allocated()

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

Not all callers care about which BDS owns the mapping for a given
range of the file.  In particular, bdrv_is_allocated() cares more
about finding the largest run of allocated data from the guest
perspective, whether or not that data is consecutive from the
host perspective.  Therefore, doing subsequent refinements such
as checking how much of the format-layer allocation also satisfies
BDRV_BLOCK_ZERO at the protocol layer is wasted work - in the best
case, it just costs extra CPU cycles during a single
bdrv_is_allocated(), but in the worst case, it results in a smaller
*pnum, and forces callers to iterate through more status probes when
visiting the entire file for even more extra CPU cycles.

This patch only optimizes the block layer.  But subsequent patches
will tweak the driver callback to be byte-based, and in the process,
can also pass this hint through to the driver.
