[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] block: drive_add/del without BlockBackend

See patch 1 for the detailed description why this is needed. The short
version is that libvirt needs to enable detect-zeroes on a mirror
target.

Peter, can you please check if this provides what you need? I checked
whether I could do the mirroring operation manually; and if I did it
right, it looks good to me. (Shortened) protocol of my test:

$ ./qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/test.qcow2 64M
Formatting '/tmp/test.qcow2', fmt=qcow2 size=67108864 encryption=off 
cluster_size=65536 lazy_refcounts=off refcount_bits=16

$ ./qemu-io -c 'write -P 0 0 64M' /tmp/test.qcow2 
wrote 67108864/67108864 bytes at offset 0
64 MiB, 1 ops; 0.3141 sec (203.694 MiB/sec and 3.1827 ops/sec)
