raw_pread_aligned() retries up to two times if the block device backs
a virtual CD-ROM (a drive with media=cdrom and if=ide, scsi, xen or
none). This makes no sense. Whether retrying reads can correct read
errors can only depend on what we're reading, not on how the result
gets used. We need to check what whether we're reading from a
physical CD-ROM or floppy here.
I doubt retrying is useful even then. Left for another day.
Impact:
* Virtual CD-ROM backed by host_cdrom behaves the same.
* Virtual CD-ROM backed by file or host_device no longer retries.
* A drive backed by host_cdrom now retries even if it's not a virtual
CD-ROM.
* Any drive backed by host_floppy now retries.
While there, clean up gratuitous use of goto.

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.

We're running into various problems because the "raw" file access, which
is used internally by the various image formats is entangled with the
"raw" image format, which maps the VM view 1:1 to a file system.
This patch renames the raw file backends to the file protocol which
is treated like other protocols (e.g. nbd and http) and adds a new
"raw" image format which is just a wrapper around calls to the underlying
protocol.
The patch is surprisingly simple, besides changing the probing logical
in block.c to only look for image formats when using bdrv_open and
renaming of the old raw protocols to file there's almost nothing in there.
For creating images, a new bdrv_create_file is introduced which guesses the
protocol to use. This allows using qemu-img create -f raw (or just using the
default) for both files and host devices. Converting the other format drivers
to use this function to create their images is left for later patches.
The only issues still open are in the handling of the host devices.
Firstly in current qemu we can specifiy the host* format names
on various command line acceping images, but the new code can't
do that without adding some translation. Second the layering breaks
the no_zero_init flag in the BlockDriver used by qemu-img. I'm not
happy how this is done per-driver instead of per-state so I'll
prepare a separate patch to clean this up.
There's some more cleanup opportunity after this patch, e.g. using
separate lists and registration functions for image formats vs
protocols and maybe even host drivers, but this can be done at a
later stage.
Also there's a check for protocol in bdrv_open for the BDRV_O_SNAPSHOT
case that I don't quite understand, but which I fear won't work as
expected - possibly even before this patch.
Note that this patch requires various recent block patches from Kevin
and me, which should all be in his block queue.

Currently the raw-posix.c code contains a lot of knowledge about the
asynchronous I/O scheme that is mostly implemented in posix-aio-compat.c.
All this code does not really belong here and is getting a bit in the
way of implementing native AIO on Linux.
So instead move all the guts of the AIO implementation into
posix-aio-compat.c (which might need a better name, btw).
There's now a very small interface between the AIO providers and raw-posix.c:
- an init routine is called from raw_open_common to return an AIO context
for this drive. An AIO implementation may either re-use one context
for all drives, or use a different one for each as the Linux native
AIO support will do.
- an submit routine is called from the aio_reav/writev methods to submit
an AIO request
There are no indirect calls involved in this interface as we need to
decide which one to call manually. We will only call the Linux AIO native
init function if we were requested to by vl.c, and we will only call
the native submit function if we are asked to and the request is properly
aligned. That's also the reason why the alignment check actually does
the inverse move and now goes into raw-posix.c.
The old posix-aio-compat.h headers is removed now that most of it's
content is private to posix-aio-compat.c, and instead we add a new
block/raw-posix-aio.h headers is created containing only the tiny interface
between raw-posix.c and the AIO implementation.

When using O_DIRECT, qcow2 snapshots didn't work any more for me. In the
process of creating the snapshot, qcow2 tries to pwrite some new information
(e.g. new L1 table) which will often end up being after the old end of the
image file. Now pwrite tries to align things and reads the old contents of the
file, read returns 0 because there is nothing to read after the end of file and
pwrite is stuck in an endless loop.
This patch allows to pread beyond the end of an image file. Whenever the
given offset is after the end of the image file, the read succeeds and fills

anything following the "file:" tag is interpreted verbatin. However if "file:"

backslash.

scsi\:0\:abc is a local file scsi:0:abc
