Reviewed if the individual added functions make sense, whether all
necessary function from struct BlockDriver are implemented, and which
fields from BlockDriverState need special handling (it's only bs->sg,
and we should probably get rid of that requirement)

Looks good in general, but please CC Stefan and me for v2 (like for all
