[Qemu-block] [PATCH v3 01/13] block: introduce BDRV_REQ_ALLOCATE flag

[Anton Nefedov]

The flag is supposed to indicate that the region of the disk image has
to be sufficiently allocated so it reads as zeroes. The call with the flag
set has to return -ENOTSUP if allocation cannot be done efficiently
(i.e. without falling back to writing actual buffers)
