qcow2: Increase maximum cluster size to 2 MB
This patch increases the maximum qcow2 cluster size to 2 MB. Starting with 128kclusters, L2 tables span 2 GB or more of virtual disk space, causing 32 bittruncation and wraparound of signed integers. Therefore some variables need to...

qcow2: Fix L1 table memory allocation
Contrary to what one could expect, the size of L1 tables is not clusteraligned. So as we're writing whole sectors now instead of single entries,we need to ensure that the L1 table in memory is large enough; otherwise...
qcow2: Cache refcount blocks during snapshot creation
The really time consuming part of snapshotting is to adjust the reference countof all clusters. Currently after each adjusted cluster the refcount block iswritten to disk.
Don't write each single byte immediately to disk but cache all writes to the...

qcow2: Split out refcount handling
qcow2-refcount.c contains all functions which are related to clusterallocation and management in the image file. A large part of this is thereference counting of these clusters.
Also a header file qcow2.h is introduced which will contain the interface of...
qcow2: Split out guest cluster functions
qcow2-cluster.c contains all functions related to the management of guestclusters, i.e. what the guest sees on its virtual disk. This code is aboutmapping these guest clusters to host clusters in the image file using the...
qcow2: Rename global functions
The qcow2 source is now split into several more manageable files. During theconversion quite some functions that were static before needed to be changed tobe global to make the source compile again.
We were lucky enough not to get name conflicts with these additional global...
