since the convert process is basically a sync operation it might

size to an alternate (greater) value.
Do you really need the extra knob?  You can just add to BlockLimits the
optimal transfer length, and use it unconditionally.
That would be possible.

(It would be interesting to add a double-buffer to qemu-img convert,
using asynchronous I/O...).
That would be the best benefit of all. But I thought this would be too
complicated.
