Sorry I didn't review this earlier but this flag looks hacky and I'm not
confident about merging the patch yet.
The patch makes me wonder if the raw_bsd driver should avoid calling
bs->file itself:
return BDRV_BLOCK_DATA | BDRV_BLOCK_OFFSET_VALID |
(sector_num << BDRV_SECTOR_BITS);
Let block.c:bdrv_co_get_block_status() call down into bs->file.
The problem is then the protocol cannot report unallocated sectors with
this approach.
I think we want to preserve bs' offset while taking the other flags from
bs->file (DATA, ZERO).
Peter, Paolo: What do you think of this approach?
