A bit of Boolean algebra (and common sense) tells us that the
second "if" here is looking for blocks that are not allocated.
This is the opposite of the "if" that sets BDRV_BLOCK_ALLOCATED,
and thus it can use an "else".

For zero write, callers pass in NULL qiov (qemu-io "write -z" or
scsi-disk "write same").
Commit fc3959e466 fixed bdrv_co_write_zeroes which is the common case
for this bug, but it still exists in bdrv_aio_write_zeroes. A simpler
fix would be in bdrv_co_do_pwritev which is the NULL dereference point
and covers both cases.
So don't access it in bdrv_co_do_pwritev in this case, use three aligned
writes.
[Initialize ret to 0 in bdrv_co_do_zero_pwritev() to avoid uninitialized
variable warning with gcc 4.9.2.

This reverts commit fc3959e4669a1c2149b91ccb05101cfc7ae1fc05.
The core write code already handles the case, so remove this
duplication.
Because commit 61007b316 moved the touched code from block.c to
block/io.c, the change is manually reverted.

The following sequence
int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_DIRECT, 0644);
for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
write(fd, buf, 4096);
performs 5% better if buf is aligned to 4096 bytes.
The difference is quite reliable.
On the other hand we do not want at the moment to enforce bounce
buffering if guest request is aligned to 512 bytes.
The patch changes default bounce buffer optimal alignment to
MAX(page size, 4k). 4k is chosen as maximal known sector size on real
HDD.
The justification of the performance improve is quite interesting.
From the kernel point of view each request to the disk was split
by two. This could be seen by blktrace like this:
9,0 11 1 0.000000000 11151 Q WS 312737792 + 1023 [qemu-img]
9,0 11 2 0.000007938 11151 Q WS 312738815 + 8 [qemu-img]
9,0 11 3 0.000030735 11151 Q WS 312738823 + 1016 [qemu-img]
9,0 11 4 0.000032482 11151 Q WS 312739839 + 8 [qemu-img]
9,0 11 5 0.000041379 11151 Q WS 312739847 + 1016 [qemu-img]
9,0 11 6 0.000042818 11151 Q WS 312740863 + 8 [qemu-img]
9,0 11 7 0.000051236 11151 Q WS 312740871 + 1017 [qemu-img]
9,0 5 1 0.169071519 11151 Q WS 312741888 + 1023 [qemu-img]
After the patch the pattern becomes normal:
9,0 6 1 0.000000000 12422 Q WS 314834944 + 1024 [qemu-img]
9,0 6 2 0.000038527 12422 Q WS 314835968 + 1024 [qemu-img]
9,0 6 3 0.000072849 12422 Q WS 314836992 + 1024 [qemu-img]
9,0 6 4 0.000106276 12422 Q WS 314838016 + 1024 [qemu-img]
and the amount of requests sent to disk (could be calculated counting
number of lines in the output of blktrace) is reduced about 2 times.
Both qemu-img and qemu-io are affected while qemu-kvm is not. The guest
does his job well and real requests comes properly aligned (to page).

The patch introduces new concept: minimal memory alignment for bounce
buffers. Original so called "optimal" value is actually minimal required
value for aligment. It should be used for validation that the IOVec
is properly aligned and bounce buffer is not required.
Though, from the performance point of view, it would be better if
bounce buffer or IOVec allocated by QEMU will be aligned stricter.
The patch does not change any alignment value yet.

This is the behavior in the operating system, for example Linux's
blkdev_write_iter has the following:
if (bdev_read_only(I_BDEV(bd_inode)))
return -EPERM;
This does not apply to opening a device for read/write, when the
device only supports read-only operation. In this case any of
EACCES, EPERM or EROFS is acceptable depending on why writing is
not possible.

The block.c file has grown to over 6000 lines. It is time to split this
file so there are fewer conflicts and the code is easier to maintain.
Extract I/O request processing code:
* Read
* Write
* Zero writes and making the image empty
* Flush
* Discard
* ioctl
* Tracked requests and queuing
* Throttling and copy-on-read
* Block status and allocated functions
* Refreshing block limits
* Reading/writing vmstate
* qemu_blockalign() and friends
The patch simply moves code from block.c into block/io.c.
