You may want to 'git config diff.orderFile /path/to/file' (with a
suitably populated file) so that .h files come first in your diffs, as
that can aid reviewers. At one point, there was a thread about adding
such a file to qemu.git proper for everyone to share, although it seems
to have stalled.

I'd feel MUCH better if you first fixed the conditional just above this
point to ensure that if the caller requests BDRV_REQ_ALLOCATE that we do
not call bdrv->bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes() unless bs->supported_zero_flags
also mentions this bit.
Remember, the existing semantics of .bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes() merely
state that we must return -ENOTSUP unless we can guarantee that we read
back as zeroes, but puts no timing constraints on it. A driver that has
not been retrofitted to understand the BDRV_REQ_ALLOCATE flag will
therefore risk taking too long. Using bs->supported_zero_flags as your
gate is what will let you avoid calling into a driver that has not been
audited for fitting the new contract.

Can we assert that BDRV_REQ_ALLOCATE will only be supplied by a caller
that is already using aligned values? Or is that too strict?

Should this be an assertion (bug in the program for mixing things that
don't make sense) rather than just a runtime error return?

Doesn't match how the other flags are documented, but any documentation
is better than none.
Missing mention of the new flag in the documentation for
supported_zero_flags.
