There is a possibility that we are extending our image and thus writing
zeroes beyond the end of the file. In this case we do not need to care
about the hole to make sure that there is no data in the file under
this offset (pre-condition to fallocate(0) to work). We could simply call
fallocate(0).

This improves the performance of writing zeroes even on really old
platforms which do not have even FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE.

This change doesn't seem right; CONFIG_FALLOCATE is set if 
posix_fallocate() is available, not for the Linux-specific fallocate() 
from linux/falloc.h.

Same here.

This seems fine though, but as I've asked in patch 5: Do we want to have 
a "has_fallocate"?

Other than that, this is the first usage of bs->total_sectors in this 
file; raw_co_get_block_status() does a similar check, but it uses 
bdrv_getlength() instead. If bs->total_sectors is correct, 
bdrv_getlength() will actually do nothing but return bs->total_sectors * 
BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE; it will only do more (that is, update 
bs->total_sectors) if it is not correct to use bs->total_sectors (and I 
feel like it may not be correct because BlockDriver.has_variable_length 
is true).

here is a check for fallocate and posix_fallocate in configure script

# check for fallocate
fallocate=no
cat > $TMPC << EOF
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(void)
{
     fallocate(0, 0, 0, 0);
     return 0;
}
EOF
if compile_prog "" "" ; then
   fallocate=yes
fi
...
# check for posix_fallocate
posix_fallocate=no
cat > $TMPC << EOF
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(void)
{
     posix_fallocate(0, 0, 0);
     return 0;
}
EOF
if compile_prog "" "" ; then
     posix_fallocate=yes
fi
...
if test "$fallocate" = "yes" ; then
   echo "CONFIG_FALLOCATE=y" >> $config_host_mak
fi
...
if test "$posix_fallocate" = "yes" ; then
   echo "CONFIG_POSIX_FALLOCATE=y" >> $config_host_mak
fi

Thus my check looks correct to me.

Oh, sorry, I somehow mixed those checks. You're right.

Very well then; maybe you want to mention this change in the commit 
message, though?
