Detect overlapping requests and remember to align to cluster boundaries
if the image format uses them.  This assumes that allocating I/O is
performed in cluster granularity - which is true for qcow2, qed, etc.

Is this really required? Image formats must be able to deal with two
concurrent write requests to the same cluster, and I don't think it
makes a difference whether it's a guest write request or a COR one.

Or does the queuing protect more than just that a COR never takes
precedence over a guest write?

It guarantees that a write request and a copy-on-read request racing
for the same cluster will be serialized.  Either:
1. CoR, then write.
2. Allocating write, then normal read.

If we don't do this we risk:
3. CoR (part 1: read), allocating write, CoR (part 2: write)

The result is that we dropped the write request!

Right, this requirement comes in with the next patch that makes COR
round clusters for optimisation. I think this relationship deserves a
comment here.

Anyway, I merged the series into the block branch (Only to notice that
it would have been better to merge bdrv_co_is_allocated first... Will
review that tomorrow.) If you send another version for this patch to add
a comment, I'll replace it.
