The changes that you made look correct to me, but I'm afraid they aren't
complete: .bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes() and .bdrv_co_pdiscard() don't
consider the offset and size, so calling these when an offset is used
will result in data corruption.
It might also be necessary to return -ENOTSUP in .bdrv_probe_geometry()
because we may return geometry for the real image file size rather than
the part that is visible for the guest.
I didn't see any other callbacks that involve offsets, but please
double-check.
