Leaves us with the HMP commit command that uses the old bdrv_commit()
function. I wonder if we can get rid of it by letting the HMP command
stop the VM, do a live commit, and then restart the VM.

In fact, I think since qcow2 has discard support it would actually be
possible to write a sensible implementation of bdrv_make_empty(). That's
a separate feature, though, and can go in a different patch series.

Why don't we need to check the return value?
