This is the final patch for converting the common I/O path to take
a BdrvChild parameter instead of BlockDriverState.
The completion of this conversion means that all users that perform I/O
on an image need to actually hold a reference (in the form of BdrvChild,
possible as part of a BlockBackend) to that image. This also protects
against inconsistent use of BlockBackend vs. BlockDriverState functions
because direct use of a BlockDriverState isn't possible any more and
blk->root is private for block-backends.c.
In addition, we can now distinguish different users in the I/O path,
and the future op blockers work is going to add assertions based on
permissions stored in BdrvChild.

Sector-based limits are awkward to think about; in our on-going
quest to move to byte-based interfaces, convert max_transfer_length
and opt_transfer_length. Rename them (dropping the _length suffix)
so that the compiler will help us catch the change in semantics
across any rebased code, and improve the documentation. Use unsigned
values, so that we don't have to worry about negative values and
so that bit-twiddling is easier; however, we are still constrained
by 2^31 of signed int in most APIs.
When a value comes from an external source (iscsi and raw-posix),
sanitize the results to ensure that opt_transfer is a power of 2.

In the case of scsi, this means that we now always advertise a

previously use 0 for no inherent limit beyond the block layer.

The existing users of the function are:
1. blk_new_open(), which already enabled the write cache
2. Some test cases that don't care about the setting
3. blockdev_init() for empty drives, where the cache mode is overridden
with the value from the options when a medium is inserted
Therefore, this patch doesn't change the current behaviour. It will be
convenient, however, for additional users of blk_new() (like block
jobs) if the most sensible WCE setting is the default.

Commit 983a1600 changed the semantics of blk_write_zeroes() to
be byte-based rather than sector-based, but did not change the
name, which is an open invitation for other code to misuse the
function. Renaming to pwrite_zeroes() makes it more in line
with other byte-based interfaces, and will help make it easier
to track which remaining write_zeroes interfaces still need

When changing the BlockDriverState that a BdrvChild points to while the
node is currently drained, we must call the .drained_end() parent
callback. Conversely, when this means attaching a new node that is
already drained, we need to call .drained_begin().
bdrv_root_attach_child() takes now an opaque parameter, which is needed
because the callbacks must also be called if we're attaching a new child
to the BlockBackend when the root node is already drained, and they need
a way to identify the BlockBackend. Previously, child->opaque was set
too late and the callbacks would still see it as NULL.

Commit 57d6a428 broke blk_aio_write_zeroes() because in some write
functions in the call path don't have an explicit length argument but
reuse qiov->size instead. Which is great, except that write_zeroes
doesn't have a qiov, which this commit interprets as 0 bytes.
Consequently, blk_aio_write_zeroes() didn't effectively do anything.
This patch introduces an explicit acb->bytes in BlkAioEmAIOCB and uses
that instead of acb->rwco.size.
The synchronous version of the function is okay because it does pass a
qiov (with the right size and a NULL pointer as its base).

At the same time, we remove the 'cache.writeback' option parsing on the

This change requires test cases that explicitly enabled the option to
drop it. Other than that and the change of the error message when
