We will re-use qcow2-cache as block layer common cache code,
so change its name and made some changes, define a struct named
BlockTableType, pass BlockTableType and table size parameters to
block cache initialization function.

cluster_size should probably be called table_size. It just happens that
qcow2 tables are always one cluster, but it may be different for other
formats using this implementation in the future.

Why did you swap the assert() and *table = NULL?

I'm not excited about exposing these types, but it's okay for now. We
can always change the implementation later to be nicer.

Why have these definitions been moved to the header file? They are
supposed to be private to the implementation.

I will use original code here. I have no reason to swap them..

Both qcow2.h:BDRVQcowState and add-cow.c: BDRVAddCowState have a
member typed  BlockCache,
such as:
typedef struct BDRVAddCowState {
    BlockDriverState    *image_hd;
    CoMutex             lock;
    int                 cluster_size;
    BlockCache          *bitmap_cache;
    uint64_t            bitmap_size;
    AddCowHeader        header;
    char                backing_fmt[16];
    char                image_fmt[16];
} BDRVAddCowState;

So I have to move the definitions to the header file, so that both
add-cow.c and qcow2.h can use  BlockCache.
Is it Okay?

The fields are actually of the type BlockCache*, i.e. a pointer. They
don't need the full definition of the struct, a forward declaration is
sufficient. So it's enough to have these lines from qcow2.h in the header:

struct Qcow2Cache;
typedef struct Qcow2Cache Qcow2Cache;
