[RFC v3 0/5] *** Add support for zoned device ***

[Sam Li <faithilikerun@gmail.com>]

*** This patch series adds support for zoned device to virtio-blk emulation. Zoned
Storage can support sequential writes, which reduces write amplification in SSD,
leading to higher write throughput and increased capacity.

v3:
- add block layer APIs resembling Linux ZoneBlockDevice ioctls (developing) ***

Sam Li (5):
  block: add block layer APIs resembling Linux ZonedBlockDevice ioctls.
  qemu-io: add zoned block device operations.
  file-posix: introduce get_sysfs_long_val for zoned device information.
  file-posix: introduce get_sysfs_str_val for device zoned model.
  qemu-iotests: add zone operation tests.
