[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 1/6] cutils: extract buffer_is_zero() from qemu-img.c

[Stefan Hajnoczi]

The qemu-img.c:is_not_zero() function checks if a buffer contains all
zeroes.  This function will come in handy for zero-detection in the
block layer, so clean it up and move it to cutils.c.

Note that the function now returns true if the buffer is all zeroes.
This avoids the double-negatives (i.e. !is_not_zero()) that the old
function can cause in callers.
