Should the matching changes to qemu.texi (currently in 17/21) be hoisted
into this patch?

printf("%#x", 0) prints 0, not 0x0.  The automatic 0x is only for
non-zero values; do we really want 0 to look different in the output
from all other values?  Let's see...

> +                   e->start, e->length, e->offset, e->bs->filename);

e->length is always non-zero.  For a qcow2 file, e->offset will never be
0 (the first raw cluster is always after the metadata).  But for a raw
file, the file starts at 0, so e->offset could be 0 there - is your new
'map' subcommand a useful way to probe where the holes are in a sparse
raw file?  But e->start will cover at most one entry starting at 0 (none
if the logical data is unallocated at the start of the file, since the
human output elides those blocks); and indeed, your example in 17/21
shows the special casing:

address@hidden
+Offset          Length          Mapped to       File
+0               0x20000         0x50000         /tmp/overlay.qcow2
+0x100000        0x10000         0x95380000      /tmp/backing.qcow2

I would have written "0x%-16"PRIx64 instead of "%#-16"PRIx64, but I can
live with your version.

Here, e->start==0 will always be present, even when unallocated (since
you don't elide any blocks, and the logical data always starts at 0).

Are we ever planning on marking up qemu-img for translation?  But this
patch need not worry about it.
