This patch contains implemention for APIs.
Important APIs:
  1 QBlockContext. This structure was used to retrieve errors, every thread
must create one first.
  2 QBlockImage. It stands for an block image object.
  3 QBlockStaticInfo. It contains static information such as location, backing
file, size.
  4 Sync I/O. It is similar to C file open, read, write and close operations.

v11:
  Moved API design out of this patch.
  Spell fix.
  Use a new function in libqblock-aio.c to do bdrv init and aio init, removed
this section from library loading call back function, which allows map different
aio-context to differenct QBlockContext in the future.
  Renamed QBlockState to QBlockImage.
  Added reference counter in QBlockImage, which is only used in new/delete pair
function now.
  Removed useless parentheses around & argument.
  Move virt_size out of format unions, removed virt_size from QBlockStaticInfoAddr.
  bdrv_read and bdrv_write, Report I/O error when block api return negative value.
  qb_check_allocation, fixed the length check condition and added comments for
it.
  qb_info_image_static_get, renamed info to p_info and info_tmp to info, also
renamed all double pointing parameters with prefix “p_”in all API.
  qb_str2fmttype and qb_fmttype2str, added parameter check.
  qb_setup_info_addr, moved memset into it.
  qb_info_image_static_get, added format valid check, removed variable member_addr,
moved memset to qb_setup_info_addr.

With a reference count, the API should be new/ref/unref, not new/delete.
 The "delete" function should be internal, just call it from unref when
the reference count goes to zero.

Some other comments below.

There is no need (yet) to do these three steps.  Once we add an
asynchronous I/O API, we can add an API to get an AioContext from a
QBlockContext.

This however requires support for multiple AioContexts, I think.  So
that's left for later.

Please just return false.

The stubs/ version is enough for qemu_set_fd_handler2. The only use of
qemu_set_fd_handler is in event_notifier-posix.c, either change it to
qemu_set_fd_handler2 or add another file to stubs/.

   OK, missed your point before, will change the API to new/ref/unref.

   It seems aio_context_new() and bdrv_init() must be called to make sure
block API works, should this function be deleted now and move this
initial calls into another new function libqblock_init()?

Yes, those two are needed.
