2914caa088 block: take lock around bdrv_read implementations
This does the first part of the conversion to coroutines, by
wrapping bdrv_read implementations to take the mutex.

Drivers that implement bdrv_read rather than bdrv_co_readv can
then benefit from asynchronous operation (at least if the underlying
protocol supports it, which is not the case for raw-win32), even
though they still operate with a bounce buffer.

raw-win32 does not need the lock, because it cannot yield.
nbd also doesn't probably, but better be safe.

848c66e8f5 block: add a CoMutex to synchronous read drivers
The big conversion of bdrv_read/write to coroutines caused the two
homonymous callbacks in BlockDriver to become reentrant.  It goes
like this:

1) bdrv_read is now called in a coroutine, and calls bdrv_read or
bdrv_pread.

2) the nested bdrv_read goes through the fast path in bdrv_rw_co_entry;

3) in the common case when the protocol is file, bdrv_co_do_readv calls
bdrv_co_readv_em (and from here goes to bdrv_co_io_em), which yields
until the AIO operation is complete;

4) if bdrv_read had been called from a bottom half, the main loop
is free to iterate again: a device model or another bottom half
can then come and call bdrv_read again.

This applies to all four of read/write/flush/discard.  It would also
apply to is_allocated, but it is not used from within coroutines:
besides qemu-img.c and qemu-io.c, which operate synchronously, the
only user is the monitor.  Copy-on-read will introduce a use in the
block layer, and will require converting it.

The solution is "simply" to convert all drivers to coroutines!  We
just need to add a CoMutex that is taken around affected operations.

64a31d5c3d dmg: use qemu block API
Use bdrv_pwrite to access the backing device instead of pread, and
convert the driver to implementing the bdrv_open method which gives
it an already opened BlockDriverState for the underlying device.

Dmg actually does an lseek to a negative offset in the open routine,
which we replace with offset arithmetics after doing a bdrv_getlength.

16cdf7ce1a dmg: use pread
Use pread instead of lseek + read in preparation of using the qemu
block API.  Note that dmg actually uses the implicit file offset
a lot in dmg_open, and we had to replace it with an offset variable.

cd02a24b61 dmg: fix reading of uncompressed chunks
When dmg_read_chunk encounters an uncompressed chunk it currently
calls read without any previous adjustment of the file postion.

This seems very wrong, and the "reference" implementation in
dmg2img does a search to the same offset as done in the various
compression cases, so do the same here.

66f82ceed6 block: Open the underlying image file in generic code
Format drivers shouldn't need to bother with things like file names, but rather
just get an open BlockDriverState for the underlying protocol. This patch
introduces this behaviour for bdrv_open implementation. For protocols which
need to access the filename to open their file/device/connection/... a new
callback bdrv_file_open is introduced which doesn't get an underlying file
opened.

For now, also some of the more obscure formats use bdrv_file_open because they
open() the file themselves instead of using the block.c functions. They need to
be fixed in later patches.

1559ca00bc dmg: fix ->open failure
Currently the dmg image format driver simply opens the images as raw
if any kind of failure happens.  This is contrarty to the behaviour
of all other image formats which just return an error and let the
block core deal with it.

707c0dbc97 support colon in filenames
Problem: It is impossible to feed filenames with the character colon because
qemu interprets such names as a protocol. For example filename scsi:0, is
interpreted as a protocol by name "scsi".

This patch allows user to espace colon characters. For example the above
filename can now be expressed either as 'scsi\:0' or as file:scsi:0

anything following the "file:" tag is interpreted verbatin. However if "file:"
tag is omitted then any colon characters in the string must be escaped using
backslash.

Here are couple of examples:

scsi\:0\:abc is a local file scsi:0:abc
http\://myweb is a local file by name http://myweb
file:scsi:0:abc is a local file scsi:0:abc
file:http://myweb is a local file by name http://myweb
