if a raw device like an iscsi target or host device is used
the current implementation makes a second call out to get
the block status of bs->file. however, the raw driver already
has called bdrv_get_block_status on bs->file.

v4: use a flag to detect the raw driver instead of the strncmp
    hack.

Sorry I didn't review this earlier but this flag looks hacky and I'm not
confident about merging the patch yet.

The patch makes me wonder if the raw_bsd driver should avoid calling
bs->file itself:

return BDRV_BLOCK_DATA | BDRV_BLOCK_OFFSET_VALID |
       (sector_num << BDRV_SECTOR_BITS);

Let block.c:bdrv_co_get_block_status() call down into bs->file.

The problem is then the protocol cannot report unallocated sectors with
this approach.

I think we want to preserve bs' offset while taking the other flags from
bs->file (DATA, ZERO).

Peter, Paolo: What do you think of this approach?

The v4 designation...

...should appear after the --- separator (useful to reviewers, but
doesn't need to be part of the git history).

This would cause other changes.  For example, a qcow2 with full metadata
preallocation (i.e. all L2 tables are there but it points to holes)
would not return DATA anymore.  I think this is wrong, and especially a
change from the old is_allocated API.

However, a variant on this idea could be to return

   BDRV_BLOCK_RAW | BDRV_BLOCK_OFFSET_VALID |
        (sector_num << BDRV_SECTOR_BITS);

and then BDRV_BLOCK_RAW would mean "take DATA and ZERO from bs->file".

I am fine with that.
